Black walnuts
Black walnuts are thick-shelled walnut kernels with a firm, ridged texture and assertive earthy flavour, used whole, chopped or ground in sweet and savoury foods.
About Black walnuts
Black walnuts are the edible kernels of walnuts with very hard, thick shells. The kernels are eaten as nuts or used chopped and ground in baked goods, confections and savoury foods. They are available in shell, shelled, chopped or ground, and can be sold raw or roasted.
The kernel is ridged and irregular, with a firm, crunchy texture and a strong, earthy walnut flavour. Black walnut kernels are darker and more assertive in flavour than the familiar English walnut. The shell is not eaten, and roasting or grinding changes the kernels’ texture and culinary use.
