A chinka-what? I asked my grandparents, as they told me about this surprising and funny little nut that s widespread from Maryland down to Texas.
My grandparents explained that they grew up enjoying this uncommon snack from the trees on their family farms. Apparently, it can even be baked into a pie. Such intrigue!
The chinquapin, or chinkapin, is a sister species to the American chestnut. It grows in a hard, spikey burr on a squatty tree that looks similar to the American chestnut tree.
The first English recording of the chinquapin was from Captain John Smith in approximately 1607 when he came in contact with the Powhatan confederacy, Taylor Perkins, a research associate at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, says.

It was common to see chestnut trees in the wild and it was part of American life. They survived for 40 million years and died out within 40 years. In north-eastern America, there were three billion trees and 25 percent of the trees in the Appalachian Mountains were chestnut but the number of surviving trees 24” in diameter is now fewer than 100.
