Extracts, vanilla....

[riceyummm]

....black walnut, almond, etc. Has anyone seen these available at the bigger markets?

I've seen vanilla and almond extracts, among others at the supermarkets that cater to farangs. I've never seen black walnut extract for sale in the USA. I googled it and, while it does exist, it doesn't seem to have any culinary uses. Just medicinal ones as an herbal remedy.

YOK has everything at a price.

Real Vanilla extract is very expensive but the chemical version is really cheap.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Tops doesn't have it, I'll try the others.

Back walnut extract for baking is available at the Shop-Rite chain on the US east coast.

Not related but interesting: Black walnut trees grow fine in the US, the meat is more flavorful but the nuts are smaller with much less meat and the shells are very thick. English walnuts are larger with thin shells, not as tasty but commercially viable. The problem is that English walnut trees are susceptible to a pathogen in US soil and will not produce. If you ever look at a walnut orchard you will see that every tree is an English walnut grafted to a black walnut root stock.

I've harvested black walnuts and while they definitely do have a stronger flavor than walnuts, it's also quite a different flavor. It's not like they're just a stronger version of standard walnuts.

Hello All, except for local Western World verities of fruit/nut trees and them also,

most everything is grafted.

Most everything that is native to N.A. doesn't rely on honey bee's, also imported

from the Old World.

rice555, that is correct but my point was that this is an interesting use of two varieties of one plant to take advantage of the superior qualities of each.
