im glad you asked ! hickory nuts are some of the most popular among foragers in the united states, but it can be difficult to crack open the nut without also breaking up the meat inside into unsatisfying small pieces. the nuts have a double shelled system, and the meat inside is separated into several different chambers – while this DOES set them apart from the toxic lookalike, the buckeye, its also the main reason as to why the nuts are so frustrating to open and harvest from.
