First introduced in 1932 in New York City, Chock Full o' Nuts coffee was made with what type of nuts ground into it?

The reason Chock Full o' Nuts got its name is because it was created by William Black, who sold nuts in Times Square. Eventually Black had 17 nut stores in NYC. But when people could no longer afford nuts during the Great Depression, he started converting his stores to lunch counters and coffee shops, but he never changed the name.
