I've read that walnuts have unique nutritional properties, even amongst other types of nuts, so perhaps these ancient civilisations were onto a good thing!

walnut trees were planted near canal locks in France when they were constructed to provide a source of food for the boating families whilst locking through.

Black walnuts are the best. A good chunk of my youth was spent sitting on a stump cracking a walnut on a bigger stump. Hard to build up a supply when you’re eating half of what you cracked.
