WALNUT A walnut is an edible seed of any tree of the genus Juglans, especially the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia.

Walnut seeds are a high density source of nutrients, particularly proteins and essential fatty acids. Walnuts, like other tree nuts, must be processed and stored properly. Poor storage makes walnuts susceptible to insect and fungal mold infestations; the latter produces aflotoxin a potent carcinogen.

WALNUT

A walnut is an edible seed of any tree of the genus Juglans, especially the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia. Broken nutmeats of the eastern black walnut from the tree Juglans nigra are also commercially available in small quantities, as are foods prepared with butternut nutmeats from Juglans cinerea.

Walnut seeds are a high density source of nutrients, particularly proteins and essential fatty acids. Walnuts, like other tree nuts, must be processed and stored properly. Poor storage makes walnuts susceptible to insect and fungal mold infestations; the latter produces aflotoxin a potent carcinogen. A mold infested walnut seed batch should not be screened then consumed; the entire batch should be discarded.

NUT

A nut is a composite of a fruit and a seed, where the hard-shelled fruit does not open to release the seed (indehiscent). So, while a wide variety of dried seeds may be called nuts in a culinary context, only ones that include the indehiscent fruit are considered true nuts in a biology context. The translation of "nut" in certain languages frequently requires paraphrases as the concept is ambiguous

APRICOT

The apricot, Prunus armeniaca, is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. The native range is somewhat uncertain due to its extensive prehistoric cultivation.

PEACH

The peach, Prunus persica, is a decidious tree, where it was first cultivated. It bears an edible juicy fruit also called a peach. The species name persica refers to its widespread cultivation in Persia, whence it was transplanted to Europe. It belongs to the genus. Prunuswhich includes the cherry and plum, in the family Rosacae. The peach is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell.

WHEAT

Wheat (Triticum spp.) is a cereal grain, originally from the Levant region of the Near East and Ethiopian Highsland, but now cultivated worldwide. In 2010 world production of wheat was 651 million tons, making it the third most-produced cereal after maize (844 million tons) and rice (672 million tons). In 2009, world production of wheat was 682 million tons, making it the second most-produced cereal after maize (817 million tons), and with rice as close third (679 million tons)

OLIVE

Its fruit, also called the olive, is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region as the source of olive oil The tree and its fruit give its name to the plant family, which also includes species such as lilacs, jasmine, Forshytia and the true ash trees (Fraxinus).

ROSE

A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds.

Horse Chestnut

A Horse Chestnut is a large decidious tree. Its Latin name is Aesculus hippocastanum. It grows natively in southern Europe, in the Balkans. It is grown very often in temperate climates. It can grow up to 36 m tall. The name of the tree (and the whole genus of similar trees) is because it was used to treat horses, against cough and some parasite warms.

DAISY

Daisy is a feminine given name, commonly thought to be derived from the name of the flower. However the flower name comes from the English word dægeseage, meaning "day's eye."

TULIP

The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa, of which up to 109 species have been described and which belongs to the family Liliaceae.
