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! |
ummmmmmmm black walnuts......yes bread and fudge...reminds me of a candy store that sold that black walnut fudge...many years ago.

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!
