<p>I just started a red worm bed again today. My wife and I went fishing this morning and had to buy red worms. $4.oo for 36 worms, UGGGG! What ones we had left went were the first brood stock for the new bed. I guess Uncle Jim's Worm farm will be supplying me with the rest. Jacob, have you ever put just plain earth worms in with your red worms for breeding purposes? I just wonder if they will cross breed.</p>

ROFL! No..no super power..just human tolerance power. You went through precautious measure to allow the green hull/fruit to fully rot off. The poison had dimished quite a bit. Your body still deal with about five percents. You guys are poison toleranced now. That is awesome.

<p>So of all the super-power, superhuman abilities out there, I get stuck with the ability to eat Black Walnuts? No flying, or X-ray vision?? Life can be so unkind.</p>
<p>Seriously though, I do love the taste, as do my sons. Once we get the green hulls off, we allow the black, inner nut to air dry for a few weeks before cracking them open. Perhaps that's the reason we haven't keeled over yet?</p>

<p>You are dead right about the black walnut. What's inside the nut is fine to eat. However, you need to ensure all the juice of the walnut fruit get cleaned and dried first. The roasting of the nut merely ensure the poison get denatured to ensure paralytic and cell death from happening. But since you've been consuming so much of it over the years, I wouldn't doubt you have an immense tolerance to the walnut's fruit. However, I wouldn't try to eat that fruit just for testing your ability…</p>

However, I wouldn't try to eat that fruit just for testing your ability withstand poison ;-) LOL I got sick pretty bad once eating a small amount of the black walnut fruit's body. Didn't know what it was fully, thinking it was just another bitter walnut fruit. Bad bad bad mistake. Nearly end up in the hospital for a week for semi paralytic and system shutdown.

<p>Leo, you're the chemist of this bunch and I don't much about denaturing poison, but I've eaten raw, unroasted Black Walnuts my entire life. I pick em' up every Fall and store them for use over the next few months. And not just in cooked foods, either. I sometimes just sit and bust them open with a hammer for a quick snack.</p>

<p>Black walnut meat is fine after the roasting to denature the poison. Just the external skin and fruit is toxic to animals. It's the plant's defensive mechanism, just like pepper, or thorny bushes.</p>

<p>Of course, Leo has the best idea. Just farm them, and harvest what you need.</p>

<p>I used to read a lot of books from Herters back in the 60's like ,"Professional Guide secrets" or some such. They said to mix soapy water with dish soap in a fairly strong solution, and do the same as with the walnuts. I think it's the acid that irritates them to come up, and you have to rinse them the same as with walnuts. Thanks for posting this! I bet you could store dried walnut hulls and use them even when the nuts weren't on the trees yet too!</p>
