Hi, I have a little information and a few questions. There are several types of hickory, each with different purposes. A pecan is a type of hickory nut. And there were at least 8 types of nuts all called Pecan by the Powhatan indians.
There is a type of nut milk called Powhicora.
I am wondering if there is anyone who has any information or knows how to make Powhicora in the old way, and I am looking for instructions on nut harvesting, storing and processing.
Can you use modern walnuts to make it?
Were the black walnuts ever eaten at all raw? Or roasted? How much and how frequently?
The type of pecan eaten today is grown in orchards.
What is the indigenous method for making this type of pecan or one similar to it?
Is there any information on storing, preparing and eating? And in what quantities was it eaten and with what other foods?
Google has been no help at all with this matter and I am attempting to find someone that may have knowledge that was passed down within the family. If you have any information about this that you can share or if you can point me towards another online or other source that may be able to provide me this information, it will be most helpful in my research. Thank you much!
