Meal

Black walnut meal is a coarse grind that still shows flecks of dark pellicle and gives cookies and crumbles a wild, crunchy bite. It tastes fuller and more resinous than fine flour because more skin and oil stay in the grind. Toast a dry pan of meal briefly to bloom aroma before folding into batters—watch heat, because the oil scorches into bitterness. Freeze bags you will not finish; coarse particles still go rancid. Choose meal when visible texture matters and flour when you need a smoother crumb. Good meal smells woodsy-sweet; paint notes mean the lot is dead. Label as tree nut.
