Black Walnuts
Black walnuts or Juglans Nigra are found
extensively across North America and if you are
fortunate enough to have the tree growing in your
backyard or come across trees then it is worth
harvesting the nuts. You can use the nutmeat in
cooking or eat them plain. The outer hulls and
husk can be used to get black walnut extract so
useful to get rid of parasites in the body.

How to Harvest Black Walnuts
Collect the nuts that have fallen.  Some walnut
trees are very tall so picking them off the
branches is out of the question. Plus, picking
them can sometimes damage the tree limbs, so just
wait for them to fall and gather them up. Be sure
to wear heavy duty rubber gloves as the cheap
disposables will not work.
4
Get the green hull off of the walnut. 
As black walnuts ripen, the husk changes from
solid green to yellowish green. 
5
Dispose of the hull
 Black walnuts contain juglone, a compound that
inhibits growth in many species of plants.
Juglone degrades with exposure to heat, sunlight
and air, and should break down completely after
several weeks or months in a compost pile. 
6
Lay out your brown hard shell nut to dry 
You can lay them out on a layer of newspapers to
dry for a few days or longer. Some people leave
them for much longer. The dryer the nut, the
easier the nut meat is to remove. You also can
store them in the shell in a dry, squirrel proof
area. Do not lay them out where the squirrels can
find them. They will take every one they can.
7
To crack open your nuts you can use a hammer or a
vise 
The vise does not do as much damage to the walnut
meat inside. This part can be a bit tricky and
can take some time. If you don't have time on
your hands you will not like doing the harvesting
of these nuts. You cannot be in a hurry in this
step or you will damage the nut meat.
8
Pull the nut meat out.
 If you can and if it is stubborn, you can use a
commercial nut pick (usually can buy these and
the nutcracker around holiday season in grocery
stores or any time of the year in cooking supply
stores). If you are just using the nuts for a
black walnut cake, it does not matter if they are
broken up badly. This is perfect for the cake.
9
Dispose of the nut shell in whatever manner you
prefer
 Remember these things are really hard and can be
sharp so don't leave them where someone can step
on them. The discarded shells make a fine
polishing medium that can be used in a rotary
tumbler, and are often used to polish brass
objects. If you have a large enough walnut
harvest, you might consider using the shells as a
timely source of winter heat in your wood stove.
10
Eat the nut fresh or save for later. 
Some species of walnut trees have different
flavors. Some are stronger than others.
