Pedro

B tier

Pedro is a named English walnut used in some commercial plantings as a pollenizer and kernel contributor. In the pan it is still classic J. regia: rich, sweet-bitter meats that shine in baking and snacks when fresh. Do not expect a radically different flavour from Chandler or Hartley—expect reliable walnut character judged by freshness first. Crack clean, freeze surplus, toast lightly for cold dishes. Major tree-nut allergen rules apply. Named Pedro lots help orchard managers and some specialty buyers track cultivar mix; home cooks can treat good stock as standard English walnut. Reject dark, shrivelled, or paint-smelling pieces before grinding.
