Nuts
Emma K
A tier
Emma K is an orchard black walnut selection valued for usable kernel percentage and the classic resinous black-walnut bite. It still needs cool storage—variety names do not stop oil from turning. Candy and ice cream makers buy named lots when they want more predictable piece size than wild native mixes. Sample toast before a full butter run. Tree-nut allergen with walnut cross-reactivity.
