“Nuts About Black Walnuts” – Foraging for Wild Black Walnuts

For outdoor enthusiasts and foragers, the thrill of harvesting nature’s bounty is unmatched, and few embody this passion quite like a great acquaintance of mine Mr. JJ Reich, affectionately known as “Black Walnut Daddy.” His new book, a rich compilation of essays, dives deep into the art and joy of black walnut foraging—a pursuit that transforms a humble nut into a treasure trove of flavor, utility, and tradition. I’m excited to spotlight this unique guide that not only celebrates the rugged beauty of the outdoors but also equips readers with practical wisdom for their own foraging adventures. Whether you’re a seasoned harvester or a curious beginner, Reich’s insights offer a fresh perspective on connecting with the land.
