It might sound strange at first—boiling walnuts? But once you learn this trick, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. While most people toss walnuts straight into salads, baked goods, or oatmeal, there’s an old-school culinary secret that makes them even better: a quick dip in boiling water.
🥣 What Happens When You Boil Walnuts?
Boiling walnuts for just a few minutes softens their slightly bitter skin, making the nuts taste milder and sweeter. This is especially useful if you’re using raw walnuts, which can sometimes carry a tannic aftertaste. Once blanched, they’re easier on the palate—and your recipes benefit big time.
🔥 How to Do It:
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
