        Wow I’m impressed. I consider myself a bit of a nut expert but I have never heard of this one. You really know your stuff.

        Or you used computer vision and know nothing.

          It was honestly just dumb luck. I had heard of these previously from a friend who had some in the Philippines. I would say, really, I do know nothing about nuts, relatively speaking :)

          These nuts are indeed not really popular but I found them in a regular supermarket in Germany a couple of years ago. As someone mentioned they’re typically almost impossible to crack, so each nut already had a small canal sawed into the side and the box came with a metal lever that exactly fits into said canal. With that preparation it was quite easy to open them.

          You can also buy them online prepared that way. E.g. here: https://mypilinut.com/de/products/noix-de-pili-en-coque-seau-xxl-2900g (I don’t know this shop, it was just the first result on Google, so no clue if it’s a fair price).

          Should have made it more challenging:

          (Pro tip: do NOT handle black walnut without gloves - your hands will be stained for weeks.)

              When my neighbor first noticed them I thought they were fruit.

              Google lens suggested a thousand things that were not what it was. Japanese this, or Indian that.

              It does smell very much like citrus, though.

              The flesh is tough and yellow but almost immediately turns dark brown. So it was too late when I noticed my fingers had stained.

              Limey nut would be an appropriate name for it.

              Black walnut is a weird thing.

            I wanted to use the heart-shaped walnut picture to cheer him up. Share some love when you nut your bros. <3
