Phytoalexins are formed as chemical responses to infection or infestation in plants.

It differs from the black walnut in that the tree is usually smaller and has lighter-colored bark. The oblong or cylindrical fruits that enclose the nuts are about 2'/2 inches in length and sharp-pointed at the apex, with a rough, jagged surface. A thin husk with numerous sticky hairs and a pungent but not unpleasant odor covers the outside. The shell is hard, rough, and walnutlike. Since the shell is so hard and thick, it is generally difficult to crack the nuts without shattering the kernels. Culinary Uses Butternuts have a deliciously sweet yet distinctive, slightly spicy flavor.

There have been reports of people returning home after a vacation trip to find all their black walnut trees cut down and spirited away. Related to the English variety, the nuts have a dark skin covering the white nutmeat and hard, protective, sticky hulls that are difficult to remove. The shells require a cement floor and heavy hammer to crack (some people run over them with their cars). Once split, each morsel of nutmeat needs to be coaxed from the still-unyielding shell. During this process the oil leaves an indelible brown stain on fingets, fabric, and even cement.

The amount of meat per nut is small, but its flavor is satisfyingly full, rich, and nutty. The black walnut is less popular for nibbling on its own because the kernel's flavor is considered too strong by most people, but it is prized when combined with other ingredients for baking, in batter and icing, and for the manufacture of both candies and ice cream. Other less commercially cultivated varieties are the Chinese walnut, the Japanese walnut, and the white walnut, more commonly called the butternut.

Add vodka to cover, then place in a cool, dark spot to steep. After 1 to 2 weeks, the tincture is ready for use. You can apply it externally as needed, perhaps dabbing it on with a cotton ball. Dr.

Pet owners love to use black walnut as a natural worming option, and it is also used in heart-worm programs for a safer approach to killing them than the drugs. Roman lore claimed that in the "Golden Age" when people lived on acorns, the gods feasted upon walnuts, which were considered far superior to other such vulgar nuts as acorns, beechnuts, and chestnuts. Credited with bringing good health, warding off disease, and increasing fertility, handfuls of walnuts were customarily tossed at Roman weddings by the bridegroom-much as we now throw rice—to be scrambled for by young boys.

More important than these studies was another carried out by the same team in which they found that several constituents of black walnut, including ellagic acid, juglone, several strong and weak acids, and alkaloids, had anti-cancer properties (13). More work in this latter area could have been most fruitful. Unfortunately, the team of scientists (from the University of Missouri) ended their studies of black walnut and its constituents before some of the really interesting questions were answered.
