One pound or approximately 30 Wild foraged Black Walnuts (Juglans nigra). Wild foraged and hand gathered from our Pennsylvania Woods, never treated with chemicals or pesticides. As with everything foraged or grown on our ecofarm, we take pride in offering the most natural, chemical free foods available, straight from nature. Can be used as snacks, cooking, crafts, feeding to squirrels and wildlife, or seeds for new walnut trees. These are from very large, old, established Pennsylvania Black Walnut Trees. Shells can also be cut for beautiful crafts. We have removed the husks, they are still in shell. We have tried to remove all debris and only ship the cleanest nuts possible. We try to sort through and discard any cracked or damaged nuts. These nuts are not available commercially grown and can only be wild gathered. Wild Black Walnuts stand out in the nut world because of their distinct, bold flavor, incredible versatility and impressive health benefits. Hand-harvested in the USA every fall, they are one of a few crops still picked by hand, making them a unique, all-natural and sustainable nut.
Key functional uses as analgesic, astringent, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory.
These are already dried, to crack the shells, place them on the ground with the pointed side up and strike with a hammer.
