The walnut harvesting season has begun and our team(Barkah agro farms) have started plucking and picking the crop.
It starts with beating the branches of a huge walnut tree with a long stick called Lanz (in kashmiri) language so that the crop falls to the ground.
It is done manually by the one who climbs up to the top of the walnut tree.nce the crop falls to the ground, it is a round, green colored crop.
The outer green cover is called Gollur ( husk) while the harder shell inside it surrounding the fruit is called endocarp (Kend).
This crop is collected in huge numbers and a process of removing their green cover (Golur) takes place.
It is done mostly by the women folk of the grower’s family.
The women start beating the collected crop with a thick wooden stick so that the husk comes off.
It is the most difficult task in the entire process.
While the women do this, their hands turn jet black with immense skin irritation.because of a toxic chemical called juglone present in the husk of the crop.
The crop is now collected in huge baskets,bags and is brown, round, and hard-shelled. It still has a residue of its green covers and the chemical juglone.
It is finally removed by washing the crop properly, particularly done in fresh water canals (running water).After that the final step is to let the crop for sundrying.
