China

The walnut like other nuts are botanically not classed as a nut but a seed. The edible seed is called a drupe.
The drupe has a green/grey sponge like texture this is called the hull.
Inside there is a ridged uneven wooden shell which holds the nut. In between the two halves of the walnut is a thin membrane which helps to protect the nut.
When the fruit matures, the hull, which becomes hard and brittle, falls away from the hard wooden shell, from the tree.
China holds the record for the world with 51% sales (3.8 million tonnes) yearly. The Chinese walnuts tend to be smaller in size and also have a darker skin than the Californian ones. You can also get walnuts from Iran and Turkey.
