Black walnut drupes or shells contain juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), plumbagin (yellow quinone pigments), and tannin. These compounds cause walnuts to stain cars, sidewalks, porches, and patios, in addition to the hands of anyone attempting to shell them.  The brownish-black dye was used by early American settlers to dye hair and cloth.

According to Eastern Trees in the Petersen Guide series, black walnuts make a yellowish-brown dye, not brownish-black. The apparent confusion is easily explained by the fact that the liquid (dye) obtained from the inner husk becomes increasingly darker over time, as the outer skin darkens from light green to black. Extracts of the outer, soft part of the drupe are still used as a natural dye for handicrafts. The tannins present in walnuts act as a mordant, aiding in the dyeing process, and are usable as a dark ink or wood stain.


We place each Spice Blend of Auntie Arwen's spices in categories to help you locate the right blend for the right recipe, but we recommend you try them your way!  Just because it's in one category, does not mean that it can't go into some other recipe as your secret ingredient!  We get ideas from repeat customers at every event.

We suggest experimentation, diversity and always take recommendations! 

Share your recipes with us and we'll share them with everyone else!

Auntie Arwen's Kitchen is open to all!

But remember, everyone has different taste buds...


(Nuts:  Almost every ingredient comes to us with the common warning on the packaging; Although we don't to anything with nuts, Some of our 'ingredients may be processed on machinery that also processes nuts' from our suppliers, Please take that into consideration. We reserve the right to exempt to place certain expense prohibitive items into the 4pk personalized sampler packs.)  
We prefer to use the US  Postal Service for our products.  If you use a "Coupon Code" and you or someone you choose will not be picking up your purchase at the event you will be offered the choice of a refund or to pay shipping charges prior to your order being shipped.  Advertised coupon codes are specifically designed (and advertised) to allow our patrons to place an order & avoid the shipping charges by choosing to pickup at the event code location since you can not pick up at an Auntie Arwen's Store location (since none exist today)
