(Pro tip: do NOT handle black walnut without gloves - your hands will be stained for weeks.)

When my neighbor first noticed them I thought they were fruit.
Google lens suggested a thousand things that were not what it was. Japanese this, or Indian that.
It does smell very much like citrus, though.
The flesh is tough and white but almost immediately turns dark brown. So it was too late when I noticed my fingers had stained.
Limey nut would be an appropriate name for it.
Black walnut is a weird thing.

Wait those are walnuts??

Yes, but not normal walnuts, black walnuts. What most people think of as walnuts, at least where I’m from, come from the Persian/English walnut tree, Juglans Regia.

Those are, indeed, walnuts.

I wanted to use the heart-shaped walnut picture to cheer him up. Share some love when you nut your bros. <3
