We have Pine Nuts! Serving North America for over 40 years! Pine nuts ( pine nut ) is also known as pinyon, piñon nut, pignolia, and pignoli, the Spanish explores called them piñon, as they are knownby most Hispanics. Pine Nut is commonly misspelled as being a whole word "pinenut". This species of seed or fruit comes from pine tree pinecones, which are the edible seeds inside of the cone (see picture above). This Pinyon Pinenut is for people, birds, squirrels etc. The shelled (no shell) pinenuts are a great addition to any recipe and the non shelled (in shell) type are a great snack for you or your parrot or hamster etc. The oils found in the Nevada soft shell pine nuts and the New Mexico Pinon Nuts are very good for your health and very tasty too...delicious that is. Pinenuts are found in there natural environment and are harvested in the US every year. Some season the seed will not be as plentiful and in other seasons that are prosperous and bountiful we call it a "bumper year" for "bumper crop". When pine nuts are shelled they can be added to recipes to make a great pesto, salad, dessert or anything you can cook or roast. This nut has much nutritional value including Essential Factty Acids, which are oils that the cells in your body function off of. The Natives in America would harvest pinenuts for there nutrition during the winter seasons. As it is discovered that a healthy diet that includes this seed, also known to the SouthWestern natives as Pinon Nuts, on a frequent basis during the winter helps provide for a healthy body that is more resistant to a person catching a cold, having allergies, hazy vision in the cold and cloudy months, dry skin and poor digestion. Tribal families and members harvest this pinon nut annually for tradition purposes as well as the benifits or taste and food for the season. The SouthWest Pinon is a smaller fruit in comparison to the Nevada Soft Shell Pine Nut and has a rich flavor. Many people whom are accustomed to this smaller variety will prefer them over the Nevada variety due to there rich flavor. However, those whom are accustomed to larger variety love the richness of the taste and more meatier seed and prefer those Nevada ones over the New Mexico Pinon. It is strongly believed that pine nuts or pinenut abundance in a harvesting season is a good indicator to determine the forcast of temperature levels in the shortcoming season. Better said the more pinenuts in a season, the more colder the temperature will be that winter. We Currently use the Pine Nut and Pinon Nut Varietes listed below:
