Note that green walnuts leave stubborn stains as a permanent marker. Green walnuts release juice that stains everything it touches in dark brown &ndash; your fingers, the cutting board, your clothes and all the culinary utensils. Therefore, wear gloves when cutting the walnuts and handling the cut pieces. Work on a cutting board that you can then throw away or it's just an older one.
