Black Walnut Hull
Botanical Name:Juglans nigra
You may have enjoyed ground walnuts in desserts or pesto, where they are a tasty and cost-effective alternative to pine nuts. Sourced from the Juglans nigra, a towering hardwood tree that can reach 100 feet, these walnuts offer valuable health benefits. In autumn, the black walnut drops to the ground, its green pulp turning black. The Black Walnut Hull is the nut's protective shell and has been used in traditional medicine in Russia, India, and Pakistan, known as akhort.
Warning
Prolonged use is not advised due to the presence of significant quantities of juglone, a known mutagen in animals.
Allergen
