Chinese know about the nutritious value of nuts for a long time. Here are
the 3 most popular nuts used in Chinese dishes and medications. They are walnuts, almonds and sesame seeds.
(Although sesame seeds are not under the same category of peanuts or other tree nuts, it can use as substitue, especially
for those who suffer from the tree nut allergies. This is the reason why we put sesame seeds in this category as well.)

1. Walnuts
According to Chinese historical documents, China is one of the origins of
walnuts and one of the largest producers after the United States. It is nicknamed "Thousands-Year Fruit".
Walnuts were brought into China by an ambassador in the Hang dynasty (more than 2,000 years ago). It is mainly produced in
Northeastern China. And those from San Xi are the best.
As a traditional Chinese medication, walnuts are good for brain, kidney, keeping skin smoother and shinier, darken hair color and enhancing blood circulation.
If someone always doesn't have any appetite in eating, try this:
1) One walnut a day
2) Add one more nut every 5 days
3) Keep adding like step 2 until you reach 20 walnuts a day
4) Repeat the cycle
