My town have a plantation of Juglans nigra. These nut trees don’t grow usually in France yet when I decided to have a taste of them, I thought I would handle it like another nut. But they are different.

I try to have the green shell to dry completely before peeling them off. But I couldn’t so I went with a knive to get ride of it before they turn bad. The nuts are smaller than the one that grows here but so hard I can’t crack them with a nutcraker.

Should I have wait longer before picking them up ? What is right to great ride of the green skin ? How could I crack them ?

    I have not figured it out yet, but I can tell you that bashing it on an IKEA coffee table does not work.
