We cut a few ourselves for that very reason.

At least you know they're there if you are one day forced to need the resource.

no. I was told greener is softer and easier and less chance of worms. still a pain in the ass. They taste great fresh like that tho. Very soft and sweet, but too much work.

LMAO i try it all the time w/the walnuts and hickory nuts. get about a handfull shelled and just eat them. i guess if i could find someone that didn't like them to do the shelling, it might pan out.

We exchange pecans for cracked pecans every year. That machine would have made cave men fat.

I mow over the walnuts and hickory nuts. It's loud, they fly.... No way in hell I'm picking up 50,000 nuts.

We used to have a pecan tree in our yard, those are alot easier .. Handful of walnuts are good for you per day

What do you mean? Are you being a puss? That old man and woman shucked those nuts like pros I can't imagine that some full grown man can handle that.

Yeah, that's a different species of walnut than what I grew up around. The ones we had were round, wrinkly, solid black little deals that were hard as stone and just as difficult to crack.
