Black Walnut Leaves (Nogal Negro), 4 oz for Tea

Black walnut leaves, cut and dried, 4 oz. Juglans nigra, grown and harvested in Mexico, and known as hojas de nogal or nogal negro in Spanish. One ingredient, nothing added.

Leaf, not hull. Two different parts of the same tree.

Black walnut is sold in two forms and they are easy to mix up. The hull is the thick husk that surrounds the nut. Dried, it is hard and woody, and it has to be simmered. The leaf is the leaf, thin and dry, and it steeps in a covered mug. This bag is the leaf.

How to make black walnut leaf tea

Add 1 teaspoon of black walnut leaves to 8 fl oz of boiling water, cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then strain and drink. Steeped, not simmered. Keep it covered while it steeps, which is what the bag directs.

What it tastes like

Earthy and herbal, which is the flavour printed on the bag. It is a different cup from the hull, which is deep and woody.

Organic or wildcrafted. Country of origin Mexico, printed on the bag.

Frequently asked questions

What are black walnut leaves used for?
As a tea. The bag directs 1 teaspoon of leaves to 8 fl oz of boiling water, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes, then strained. That is the preparation printed on the label.

What is the difference between black walnut leaf and black walnut hull?
They are two parts of the same tree. The hull is the thick husk around the nut, and dried it is hard and woody, so it is simmered for 10 to 15 minutes. The leaf is thin and dry, so it is steeped for 5 to 10 minutes. This bag is the leaf.

Are these the same as the leaves on a walnut tree in my yard?
Same plant, Juglans nigra, but this is a bag of harvested leaves that have been cut and dried for tea. It is not a plant identification guide, and we are not able to tell you what tree you are looking at.

Do black walnut leaves contain tree nuts?
The leaf is not the nut, so this is not a tree nut declaration. Black walnut leaves come from the walnut tree. If you have a tree nut allergy, talk to your doctor before use.

Do you sell black walnut in capsules?
Yes, as part of a blend. Our Gut Supplement is black walnut hull with wormwood and myrrh, 400 mg of each per serving, in a vegetable capsule. That one uses the hull rather than the leaf, and it contains tree nuts.
