Hickories all have edible nuts, including the most common commercial variety of hickory, the pecan, which has one of the largest nut kernels. Other hickories are also commercially available though, such as Carya cathayensis which can be found roasted and flavored (with anise, cinnamon, etc.) as a Chinese snack.
