#ForagingFriday: Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
.
Grown in rich soil in deciduous woods, the black walnut is Missouri’s most valuable tree due to the high price they draw on the market. The nut is covered in a thick husk, which takes time to process. Always use gloves when processing black walnuts. The nut meat can be eaten raw but is also delicious in any recipe calling for walnuts.
