A question about black walnuts.
I have a bunch and I think I did not let the nuts cure for a few weeks before shelling them. I shelled them right away.
The meats are chewy/rubbery and bitter but they look fine.
I can’t eat them but mr. mm isn’t sure if they are OK, so I was wondering if there was some way of curing them after cracking.
With their bitter taste, how can you tell if they are good or not?
They have a somewhat sweet, apply smell to them at the moment.
.
If a nut tastes bitter, that’s never a good sign. I, myself, wouldn’t risk eating them.
I doubt it will kill you, but the side effects probably won’t be ANY fun!
Good info here. Pretty much what I remember my FIL doing in the past. He’s no longer with us, but not due to Black Walnut Poisoning, LOL!
