Huh? What bitterness? I've heard of this for acorns, but not any other 
nuts. Is there some processing of walnuts needed which I'm unaware of? 
Although I've got some walnuts in the shell which I bought recently. 
Since they were mixed with other shelled nuts, I'm not sure they are 
treated or need it. Or are these green walnuts?
