Drying Nut

When the green nut is given a chance to dry it starts to take on this appearance. The shell is still a bit soft but in time dehydration will allow it to harden. Then it will be preserved and keep until it is used as a nut to be consumed. It's colour will lighten. Do you like this kind of nut Kleinste Motte?

  2. What is the name of this nut? What tree???? Is it edible??? I will say that it's not very pretty --but looks don't always matter.
