How to Remove the Husks From English Walnuts
English walnuts are sweet and nutritious nuts that are commonly used in food recipes, or eaten dry or roasted as snacks. The shells are relatively thin and somewhat easy to break open. This nut is confused often with the black walnut, which has an extremely tough exterior. English walnuts can be purchased already shelled and in bulk online, at grocery stores, and at health food stores across the country. The English walnut tree, which is native to Europe, can grow up to 60 feet tall. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
These walnuts are best when they have been dried. Find a place outside where the squirrels will not eat them and spread them out on a table or another flat space. If rain is expected, find a suitable place indoors. It takes between 24 and 48 hours to dry them completely.
