Hickory Nuts

Buying Tips

For maximum freshness, buy unshelled hickory nuts.

Varieties

Edible hickory nuts come from the shellbark or shagbark varieties of hickory tree. In addition to the regular hickory nut, there is a hybrid variety called a hican, which is produced by crossing the pecan tree with the hickory tree.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Hickory nuts can be prepared and used in the same way as pecans—as snacks or in baking or cooking. The nut meats from hickory nuts are more difficult to remove from their shells than those of pecans, but their delicious flavor makes it well worth the effort.

Storing

Store shelled hickory nuts in the refrigerator or freezer for up to two months.
