** HICKORY NUTS **
Hickory nuts are produced by shagbark or shellbark hickory trees. These
trees are members of the walnut family and grow principally in the central
and northeastern United States.
The smooth-shelled nuts are enclosed in a green husk which turns brown as
it matures and releases the sweet-flavored nut in the shell.
** INDIAN NUTS **
: See PINE NUTS
** MACADAMIA NUTS **
Macadamia nuts are grown in California, Florida and Hawaii. When fully
ripe, the thick husks split open and the hard-shelled nuts fall to the
ground. They are harvested immediately, the shells removed, and the nuts
are dried. The shells are difficult to crack because they are about 1/8-
inch thick. This may be why they are so expensive.
The delicate mild-flavored nut is delicious eaten fresh or roasted, alone
or in dried fruit and nut combinations. To roast, place them in a shallow
pan at 275
F (135
C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
** PEANUTS **
Peanuts actually a member of the pea family, mature beneath the surface of
the soil. Their shell is the softest of any of the nuts. Because they are a
legume instead of a nut, they can be dried and roasted at slightly higher
temperatures.
Spread peanuts on trays and dry at 130
F (55
C). Store them shelled or
unshelled. To roast peanuts in the shell, place them in a shallow pan at
300
F (150
C) for 30 to 40 minutes. If they have been shelled, roast them
for 20 to 25 minutes and stir frequently to prevent scorching.
** PECANS **
Pecans are grown mostly in the southern United States, but may be grown
from southern Indiana and Iowa down into Mexico.
The nuts are mature when the green husks turn brown and open. The nuts
usually fall to the ground or may be knocked down with a long pole. The
smooth brown shells are usually oval-shaped, but are round in a few
varieties. Their dull finish is usually polished before marketing.
They add delicious flavor to breads, cookies, candies and many fruit
dishes.
** PIGNONS **
: See PINE NUTS
** PINE NUTS **
These tiny, sweet-flavored nuts, also known as Indian Nuts, Pignons and
Pinons, are about the size of an orange seed. They are grown on the Nut
Pine tree in the southwestern United States. Their delicious flavor makes
the tedious process of cracking them worthwhile.
They are usually sufficiently dry when they fall to the ground, but should
be packaged and stored to prevent additional moisture absorption.
