Abstract:

European colonists who settled on North Carolina's Coastal Plain quickly learned to use the wild vegetables, berries, fruits, and nuts they found growing there. Nuts provided food for their tables and for their hogs. The tradition of nutting continues to this day. Casada discusses the practice and where to find nuts, including black walnut, hazelnut, butternuts, and beechnuts.
