Product Information

Pine nuts, also known as piñon or pignoli, are the buttery, nutty, absolutely delicious little seeds of—yes—pine trees.

To roast the seeds, simply spread them on a baking sheet and place in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes or less. Cashews are a source of heart-friendly mono-unsaturated fats and supply plant sterols, which may help manage cholesterol levels. Roasting beech nuts is very similar to roasting chestnuts, apart from removing the outer casing is easier as it is far less spiky than the sweet chestnut. Some growers claim that the elevation of the pinyon pine is an important determinant of the quantity of pine cone production and, therefore, will largely determine the number of pine nuts the tree will yield. Pine nuts feature a thick outer shell that you must remove before eating, yet it might be challenging.Whether you use them in salads, pasta dishes, or baked goods, roasted pine nuts are sure to add a delightful crunch and nutty taste to your meals. Tree nut consumption is associated with better adiposity measures and cardiovascular and metabolic syndrome health risk factors in U.

The pine cone is not the only covering for the seed; each pine nut has a second shell that must be removed before eating.First suspend a tarp around the tree you want to harvest from then higher up on the tree suspend small bird netting over the tarp to keep critters out and hopefully as the cones open hopefully the pine nuts will fall through the net and be caught by your tarp. American pinyon pine cone production is most commonly found at an elevation between 1,800 and 2,600m (6,000 and 8,500ft), and ideally at 2,100m (7,000ft). Remove them from the pan as soon as they’re done, so the heat of the baking sheet doesn’t continue to cook them.
