MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Silver Maple Seeds Categories: Wild, Nuts Yield: 1 info file Silver maple Acer saccharinum I came across a massive silver maple (Acer saccharinum) dropping its seeds, so I tried a bunch of them (which were very easy to shell, the outer casing came right off). They weren't bad at all, some slightly sweet and others just slightly bitter, but all acceptable in taste and perhaps would be even better if they were roasted or boiled. They were rather large, also, being maybe 1 1/2 times as large as your typical supermarket pine nut, and very abundant, so they'd be easy to gather and process in quantity.
