Weights of fresh nut (FW), husked nut (HNW), split nut (SNW), kernel (KW) and dry weights (scored by oven-drying of 100 g of fresh kernel), and the fruit components; husk weight (HW), water weight (WW), kernel weight, and shell weight (SW). Means with the same letter in each column are not significantly different ().
