Abstract: The method and apparatus for removing the skins of shelled walnuts generally involves confining the shelled walnuts in a containment area, spraying the walnuts with water under sufficient pressure to remove the skins without breaking the nuts, removing excess water from the skinned walnuts and skins, and separating the walnuts from the skins. The apparatus generally includes one or more nets for confining the shelled walnuts in a containment area, one or more spray nozzles directed at the walnuts, and one or more pumps providing water under pressure to the nozzles.
