Black Walnut Hulls 4 oz (Nogal Negro) for Tea and Tincture

Black walnut hulls, cut and dried, 4 oz. Juglans nigra, grown and harvested in the USA, and known as nogal negro in Spanish. One ingredient, nothing added.

How to make black walnut hull tea, and why it is simmered

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons to 8 fl oz of water, bring it to a gentle simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from heat, strain and drink. Simmered, not steeped. A hull is hard and woody, and a few minutes in a mug will not open it up.

What a hull actually is

The outer husk that surrounds the shell of the nut, not the shell and not the kernel. On the tree it is a thick green casing; once the nut is harvested the husk is removed, and that husk is what is in this bag, cut into pieces and dried. These are dried hulls, not green hulls. Dried, they are hard, dark brown to almost black, and curled, which is exactly what the photograph on this page shows.

What it tastes like

Deep, woody and astringent, with a dry finish that lingers. It is not a soft cup and most people drink it small.

What is in the bag

Cut and dried black walnut hulls and nothing else. One ingredient, no fillers, no flavouring, nothing added.

Other ways it is used

Beyond the tea, black walnut hull is traditionally prepared as a tincture. That is on the label.

How to store it

Tightly closed in a dry place at room temperature, 59 to 86°F (15 to 30°C), as printed on the bag.
