Meet BLACK WALNUT: Wild Flavorful Nut & Anti-fungal Remedy

Black Walnut, scientifically called Juglans nigra of the Juglandaceae family, gives flavorful walnuts; as well as strong anti-fungal medicine. Learn to ID, harvest, and use this grand Native American nut tree.

Harvest & Use
The nut meat inside the hard black walnut shell is food and can be used like regular walnuts, but keep in mind that the flavor is stronger.

The green outer hull is used topically for fungal skin issues. I typically make an herbal infused oil with the fresh green hull and then combine it with a touch of tea tree oil into a salve for fungal skin issues. Yes, you can use the hulls internally for other issues, but that is for another lesson.

Gather nuts as they fall off the tree. You can eat the nuts right away, store them in their hull, or remove the hull, and then cure them (best flavor option).

To make medicine, use the fresh outer green hull.

Processing note: the juice of the green hulls will stain your skin and clothes, even burn your skin. Best to wear gloves.

Cautionary note: Please research any new food or medicine, go slowly, learn, and discuss using it with your healthcare provider.

Habitat
Anthropogenic sites; meadows, fields, wetland edges. Full sun to part sun in rich, well drained soil. USDA Hardiness Zones 4–9. Range: Native of Eastern and Central regions of North America. Now growing in parts of Europe.

In this course you'll learn to forage for potent wild food & create your own herbal remedies; to enhance your immune system & increase your overall health using plants that are easily available to you: Dandelion & Field Garlic.

You’ll learn to forage & prepare these plants into tasty recipes that are fun to make and that you’ll love. I'll also teach you how to make your own health promoting tinctures!

What could be more grounding, than listening to tree hugging, nature loving, Dina, sharing her herbal knowledge with her meditative voice?!

I have black walnuts everywhere. I made tincture's last year, but I didn't know how beneficial an oil or ointment could be, or that you can infuse them into an oil for ointment making. Thank you for sharing this information. I'm disabled older and attempt to survive on SSI. That's almost impossible, therefore I can't afford any classes on herbalism and foraging, or any books on the subject. So I really appreciate you herbalist that share these things with us poor people. Bless you. 🙌 I wish I could figure out a way to make a living on all these black walnuts, but it's just too much on my body to do such hard work as it is to clean, cure and shell these. I'm not lazy, just old and crippled. I used to work very hard and I still over do it on good day's even knowing I'm going to pay dearly for it. Lol I pray that more people will wake up and see what's growing around them, learn everything they can about what's eatable, and how it can keep them and their children alive and healthy when everything goes crashing down. It's going to happen. Actually it's already happening. Look at the price of food and how difficult it's getting to find things they used to see everywhere. America isn't the only country experiencing this either. It has been planned and is now unleashed upon the entire world. Just read the Bible if you doubt it. The Bible is the best history book ever written, if you don't like it, it's at least the most amazing history book if nothing else!

My husband and I just bought a house and there was a huge tree on the property that I thought was dead and wanted to cut it down in the winter. I saw that it started to grow leaves and it was very pretty and later realized it had some green fruit on it. We did some research and learned its a black walnut tree! We have 3 on our property but only one has the fruit. We are now picking up the black walnuts and are planning to save the nuts! Im glad to learn its very good medicinally to use the hulls as well. Im starting to get a better appreciation for herbal medicine and am excited to learn more!

Thank you for your video!

Very interesting. I will pay closer attention to who has this tree. I'm still not sure I want one in my yard.

[louisegogel]

Thank you for this! If you have the already dried black outer skin from drops, does the anti fungal property remain? If so, what are the best ways to make it into a fine powder?

I have a bunch I ground with a stone to get as powdery as possible, but it’s still gritty and hasn’t dissolved well in vinegar water for soaking.

Also, if you eat the nut fresh, peel the skin off because it’s white bitter, and the it is quite sweet tasting. but once the nut has cured dry, the skin on the nut is no longer bitter.

Thank you for this! Your videos have been very helpful to me. Do you use the black walnut leaves for anything? Some people mention them briefly as being used but i can't find any information on actually using them

[virginiasummer]

I’m really enjoying your channel. Baby powder in your gloves will let you slip the gloves on easily. We also had black walnut, beautiful but also a nuisance because so many things won’t grow under it due to the jugalone. When our kids were small they would collect them and sell them at the local Mennonite store. They call them English walnuts. We opened them by driving over them - I never knew about making medicine from the hill. Fascinating!

Dina,
I have GREATLY enjoyed listening to your YouTube channel and ALL of the wonderful pieces of life-sustaining knowledge that you so willingly offer to the inhabitants of this now dismal and un-grounded world. It is truly a blessing to have individuals such as yourself grace us with your wisdom! This info could help help a life someday. Keep it up!

[jojaylina]

Dina ... i know i have said it few times already ( and oh do i love your book. SO beautiful and useful ! ) But .. your videos are so amazing. You are intense, you give tons of details and show them all on camera also. You are a natural teacher. really. Love love love your presentations. ALL.

That said.. do you have students who can go and learn to ID with you ? like for few days - weeks .. (asking for a friend hahahahahaha... you know it's for me ! )

[EthnobotanistMarc]

Awesome video! As Sherry said already very timely too! Grateful for you!

[liocean]

Oh Dina I love you... your energy is so warming. Thanks for your gifts of wisdom.

[carolinathaihealingarts]

Thank you! Great ID. I am trying to learn trees and this was very helpful!

[respecthewoman]

Thank you for sharing your passion with us, and taking the time to educate. Guidance and Blessings to you. Cheers.

[aleje]

Thank you for sharing this video. It has been helpful to me. And helpful in reconnecting with my Native American Heritage. Back then at the age of 12 a child would have already known to identify helpful medicinal trees and herbs and food staples in the wild. I'm catching up. Thank you. 🙏
I have just become your newest subscriber.

[SheliaSibilsky]

Love this video. Thank you for your information

[botanicalbecca]

Just harvested some from my front yard and searched for this. Thank you so much for your rich wisdom! Excited to get rid of my ringworm that just came back after many years. Our family also lived in mold for years, but thankfully was able to move from there. I know this medicine will be deeply healing for us all. 💗🌿

[melissamitchell]

What type of tool is she using for hulling these nuts?

[johnathanbusse]

I have a very old black walnut and a few younger ones in my back yard. I germinate and grow the trees from time to time. They are very strong nuts. I have germinated and grown a 2 year old batch of husked nuts before.

[julielassetter]

Dear Dina, I've enjoyed and learned so much from your course Wild Food Health Boosters & Herbal Remedies. I have this poor Black Walnut that is just hanging on, so I have tried to plant the walnut seeds to no avail. Do you have any tips. Thank you, Julie
