They can usually only be bought from about the middle of August through to October. Stored nuts may be available from selected larger outlets through to Christmas. At the beginning of the season the husks are green and the kernels particularly juicy.

To prevent mould they should not be allowed to sweat. Loose husks should be removed but it is not necessary to take off every one. Do not remove the husks if they are green and firmly attached to the nut. The addition of a little salt helps preserve the nuts.

They can also be eaten with other ingredients, such as in a salad; some people like to eat them with a little salt.

Roasted nuts can be eaten on their own, or used whole, chopped or ground to flavour pasta, meringues, fruit crumbles, cakes, cake toppings etc. To roast cobnuts, crack and shell them, then cook them on tinfoil or a baking tray in an oven heated to about 150°C, 300°F, Gas Mark 2, for an hour or so; the cooking time depends on how ripe and how dry they are. First they become soft, but do not remove them until they have hardened, but have not blackened. They can also be cooked in a microwave oven; 4 oz of kernels will typically take 6 minutes on a high setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the nutritional value of cobnuts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobnut kernels typically contain 12%-17% protein by dry weight, and about 10%-15% fibre.
