9. Horses and dogs.
Horses can get a condition called laminitis, an inflammation of the feet, if their bedding is made from walnut chips or sawdust. And walnuts are lethal to dogs. As for people, don’t eat a walnut with a mouldy shell, because poisonous mycotoxins can leak into the meat.
10. Not a nut.
Seriously? Yes. A walnut is not a nut in the botanical sense because its hard outer shell is composed of two distinct halves. Acorns, hazelnuts and chestnuts are nuts; walnuts, almonds and pecans are not.
