The butternut (also called the oilnut or white walnut) (Juglans cinerea) is a member of the walnut family native to North America, where its large edible nuts have been long relished. It is the hardiest member of the walnut family, with a range which extends well into Canada. It is considered by some as the best of all nuts, but it remains little known in most parts of the world.
