Grape-Nuts

[Battis]

Bowl of Grapenuts, milk, sugar, pop it in the microwave for 20 - 30 seconds. Softens them and warms them up. Working on a bowl now.

I always thought that Grape Nuts was a physical deformity.

Now that's Funny !

No thank you! I have enough problems with my teeth without trying to chew on food in the form of rocks! Come to think of it rocks probably taste better!

Euell Gibbons say's Grape-Nuts ... " taste like Wild Hickory Nuts ..."
I never tasted any Hickory nuts ... I have tasted Chestnuts and Wallnuts ...
but no Hickory Nuts .
Euell wouldn't steer us wrong back in the 1970's there was a thing called Truth in Advertising ...
If you said it on TV it had to be true !

Wild hickory nut hulls maby, and just about as hard!

If you ever have a hickory nut pie you'll never want another pecan pie!

[owejia]

I'll second that Thundarstick, used to pick up the nuts from scaly [shaggy] bark variety, figured out how to break them where the nuts came out in halves, good eats. They do have a unique taste.

[GregLaROCHE]

Are hickory nuts the same as hazel nuts? If not, I don’t think I have ever tasted them, but I would like to.

Pecan and hickory trees are all carya species, and in the same family.

[Thundarstick]

Scale bark are the elprimo with shaggy bark next, learn what a bitter nut hickory is and avoid those! Hickory nuts from the first two trees have absolutely NO bitter astringent stuff in them as pecans do. I have a hickory nut cracker, and you can use a set of modified side cutters to nip the hull off the meat rather than pick the meat out of the hull. Works great on black walnuts as well!

Old EG shouldn't haven mentioned hickory nut and grape nut in the same sentence!

One of the hardest jobs in the world is sorting the male grapes from the female grapes to collect the nuts.

I'm not a farmer, and that sounds like a lot of work.
If it was me--- I'd stick to raising grit bushes.

They are one of my favorite cold-weather hot cereals. A half bowl of cereal, covered in milk, 2 minutes in the microwave, then topped with some maple syrup and I am happy. If I want them crunchier, I cut back on the time in the microwave. If wanting them a little softer or even almost mushy, add a little time. I don't eat them cold as cereal, but do enjoy small amounts on yogurt or ice cream.

One box was a lifetime supply for me.

Your right about that !

[justindad]

I like grape nuts. You gotta let them soak in milk until they are at the right texture.

[rintinglen]

They have always been in production but with 6 million flavors/ brands of other cereal on the market they sometimes get crowded off the shelf .
I always liked them ... Taste like Wild Hickory Nuts ...
Who remembers Euell Gibson ?

Let them soak in the milk a few minutes ... makes them easier to eat .

My Mom had a baking recipe for Grape-Nut Banana Crunch Muffins that was very good and I enjoyed them ... I have the recipe if anyone wants it ...
