It's a nut, I think in the hazelnut family, if it were me, it'd be time to make some biscotti....

Now I'm craving nutella and toffay....

We know of no good use for buckeyes, except that carrying one in your pocket is supposed to bring good luck. I read on the internet that the Native Americans would crush and peel them and make a sort of mush out of the inside. I won't be mushing anything, but they are gorgeous to look at. I have a tall glass vase filled with them and they look so cool.
