Split Kernel

Split hickory kernels are halves or broken sweet hickory meats after cracking, the form you pick from the shell and toast lightly for baking. Hard shells make perfect halves less common than irregular pieces. A good split meat is plump and free of shell grit. A bad piece includes bitter species mix or dark rancid bits. Chop into cookies or ice cream where black walnut would also work but you want a different wild note. Freeze meats promptly. Species identification at harvest is the real quality control step.
