And how does one prepare to eat it, raw or cooked?<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your experience.:)Ricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048460533287766110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2908330512682788220.post-50450254744115119302011-03-25T13:52:53.948+08:002011-03-25T13:52:53.948+08:00When we were kids we used to eat the nuts, which a...When we were kids we used to eat the nuts, which are very difficult to open with a bolo.
