Description
Shelled walnuts in halves, light in color, crunchy and tender at once. Their taste is mild and slightly woody, with the slight bitterness of the skin that gives the walnut all its character. In Morocco the walnut is called kerkaa, and it has a central place in the Achoura basket.
Serve them with tea and dates, or tucked into a date or a dried fig. In baking, they go into ghriba, loaf cakes, brownies and celebration cakes, and they crumble nicely over yogurt, a salad or a bowl of oats.

Questions about walnut halves
Why the slight bitterness?
It comes from the thin skin that covers the kernel: that is the normal taste of walnut. A very bitter walnut that smells like paint is rancid, which happens when it has been poorly stored.
How much should I get for Achoura?
As a rough guide, 500 g of walnut halves makes a good share of a family's basket, along with the figs, almonds and dates.
