You have to in a brine solution, they go well with game meat, pate, crackers and cheese. It is an English thing.d definitely an aquiard taste.

And that is why they were used to "dye" fabric back when. Also cut the nuts into slices and used as buttons.

So today, I wore latex gloves like my mom suggested and now my thumbs are black and I shelled just as many.

I’ve tried soap and hot water, shampoo, face wash, WD-40, Vaseline, lemon juice, salt, bleach, and lotion, all to no prevail. Any other ideas or cures??

The only good thing, it won't wear off on anything, so I can still quilt!

No but I will take the Black Walnuts off your hands! As a kid that was the only walnut I knew (lived in Missouri). Still love them but they are really scarce in Georgia.

From my own experience as a child, it has to wear off. Always wear gloves when hulling walnuts!
