Some of the nuts were a little smaller than i had hoped for, however these hickory nuts are delicious and the Weavers included a few extra in our package too that makes up for any bad ones so that helps, not a bad one yet though. The pie i made with them is heavenly good.
Thank you! We appreciate you very much!
