Not a big fan of nuts.
Cashews are the only one I'll eat on their own. I'll eat others if they're in a baked good.

I've never found hickory nuts around here. So, I've never been able to try them.
My doctor suggested I start doing squats, so I moved all the beer to the bottom shelf of my fridge.

Virtually 100% of the US hazelnut crop grows within 100 miles of my farm. In recent years huge amounts of blight resistant cultivars are being planted. Many by money from huge packers like Blue Diamond.
Interesting factoid: Hazelnuts bloom in January here and are wind pollinated. Hazelnuts are best when they are in the shell, IMO.

I forgot about Brazil nuts. I like them as well. Are hickory nuts as hard to shell as Brazil nuts?

now I have an admission , what I thought were hickory nuts were actually hazel nuts , guess I have had that wrong for the last 40ish years
like I said don't get them often it is always around Christmas and they have a big display of bulk nuts all the same price generally per pound scoop bag
I guess she was pointing at the nut next to the one I was looking at all those years ago.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have never seen hickory nuts available commercially. I stand corrected, just looked. Holy cow they are expensive. $11/oz. for shelled ones. $25 a pound for in the shell.
