walnuts
Squirrels love these
Walnuts are the edible nuts of the walnut tree, with wrinkled, brain-shaped kernels inside hard, ridged shells.
They're used in baking, salads, and snacking.
The wood of walnut trees is prized for furniture and gunstocks.
In slang, walnuts can refer to testicles, from the resemblance in size and shape.
