Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Walnuts, Almonds, and Chestnuts; Their Composition and Draft Upon the Soil, And, the Bleaching of Nuts by Dipping Of the stone fruits the prune and apricot, like the chestnut, are largely made up of carbohydrates (sugar, etc.) and contain considerably less protein than the chestnut kernel, and from three to six times less of that ingredient than the almond or walnut kernel. The above figures are interesting among themselves, and become of more value when considering the food values of these nuts. All authorities agree upon the fact that nuts are a highly concentrated form of food; caution should, therefore, be followed in their use. Walnuts and almonds possess a higher nutritive value than even the grains; and, as compared with fruits, they rank high in food value, being the true seed only and not made up of fleshy coverings, as the apple, pear, etc.; they, therefore, have less water and a higher nutritive value generally, weight for weight.
