[0002] Nuts are a type of deciduous fruit with a hard shell containing one or more seeds. Examples include chestnuts, almonds, and other nuts. Nuts are considered the essence of plants, generally rich in nutrients, containing high levels of protein, oils, minerals, and vitamins. They are highly beneficial for human growth and development, strengthening the body, and preventing disease. Studies have shown that eating nuts more than twice a week can reduce the risk of fatal heart disease.
[0003] With the development of society and the economy, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and their nutritional needs are becoming more comprehensive, with a growing pursuit of health. Nuts are rich in many nutrients, and regular consumption can improve the body's nutritional level and boost immunity, thus increasing the demand for nuts. However, because the shells of nuts are hard, they are inconvenient to eat, so they need to be cracked open to make them easier to consume.
