Perfumed & Dyed!
This stuff is fake! I've NO idea what it is EXACTLY. But it certainly isn't black walnut! I know because i order the black walnut from out of the country for a much higher price. It doesn't look or smell at ALL the same. THIS brand smells like it was sprayed w some unnatural perfumes. It kinda smells like BACON...!! Why would nut shells give off a BACON scent, one will never know... Once i boiled & simmered it, it became SUPER dark. The other walnut shells imported from Africa didn't give off SUCH a dark black color. This leads me to believe that the manufacturer of THESE shells added dyes to this as well. I also poured the tea mixture along w the remaining 'shells' in a spot in my backyard to see if any of the grass & leaves would wither. No such thing happened.<br />To sum it up, don't go the cheap way, only to get cheap results. This stuff--whatever it really is, isn't walnut shells in the least!
