The nuts of all the species are edible, but the walnuts commonly available in shops are from the Persian Walnut, the only species which has a large nut and thin shell. A horticultural form selected for thin nut shells and hardiness in temperate zones is sometimes known as the 'Carpathian' walnut. The nuts are rich in [[oil]], and are widely eaten both fresh and in cookery. [[Walnut oil]] is expensive and consequently is used sparingly; most often in [[salad dressing]]. Walnuts are also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, and have been shown as helpful in lowering [[cholesterol]]. They need to be kept dry and refrigerated to store well; in warm conditions they become rancid in a few weeks, particularly after shelling. | The nuts of all the species are edible, but the walnuts commonly available in shops are from the Persian Walnut, the only species which has a large nut and thin shell.
