Organic Constitute:
The number one thing in the constitution of organic farming or ranching is no secret whatsoever for those of us that have been around organic farming and organic ranching and have lived most of our lives on farms ranches and or wilderness. Being one with a natural organic environment for many decades of our lives and always looking to find a way to avoid chemical fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides and growth hormones and many other kinds of none natural science from the world that we live in today is what we like to do in all our farming and ranching ventures. For pine nuts being a part of our food supply, being one with nature is our number one priority in our lives.

We as a family always familiarize well in the woods and wilderness for these very reasons although we don’t have the comfort of a warm home; we camp in the woods for months at a time and cook over a camp fire and sleep in a cold tent at night. However, indeed it has been a way for many of us to know a different part of the all natural organic wilderness in our country that one in no way can find in the city life. It brings us close to mother earth in a way that only those that try it can fully know firsthand; the big difference it brings to your daily lives.

Going back to the all natural organic wilderness and environment in some of the most remote places that we look forward to harvesting all natural organic pine nuts that are pollinated and receive their nourishment 100% from Mother Nature in their maturing process. A cycle of 18 months to reach its completion and then yielding forth an all natural organic pinyon pine cone that brings forth a 100% all natural organic pine nut seed that we call all natural organic pine nuts. In this way it’s comforting to say that indeed it’s much bigger than organic farming and is beyond the common organic all together. Most of these remote areas that we look forward to gather from have American all natural organic pine nuts that can be wild harvested and never have been tampered with in anyway by a human being whatsoever. Making this a product of organic pine nuts that we can make available to you as pure and natural as nature intended them to be, as is our intention. There are very few organic products brought to you in this way from the world we live in today. Wouldn't it be great to bring about an all natural organic world again some day? As it was back many decades ago? I believe that we all would say “Yes!” We would all love an all natural organic world, always fresh air to breathe, all natural organic flowers that emit an aroma of a very pleasant smell, organic fruits of all kinds with the most pleasant aroma and flavor for all to enjoy, organic vegetable of all kinds with the most wonderful flavors, of course organic live stock and poultry of all kinds, and let’s not forget our all natural sea creatures. He who created all living things whether breathing creature or vegetation knows best than all our science in the world today, don’t you agree? If you don’t that’s ok, this world is big enough for all of us to live in a world of many likes and opinions, in peace hopefully. One of the true definitions of all natural organic is: Un-tampered with, or by anything that is un-natural to the nature of things. To Top

The pinyon pine tree or pinon pine tree:
The pinyon pine tree is native to the southwest and west mountain region of America in the USA, predominantly in the foothills. It grows in a elevation of 5,500 feet to 8,500 feet. Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas grows the dabble leaf pine needle and is called the pinon pine tree by the native people. Its sister tree grows in Nevada, Utah and California and has single leaf pine needles called the pinyon pine tree, which is the Nevada official State tree. Both varieties of pinyon pine trees are evergreen and very beautiful. Being very productive the single leaf pinyon pine tree yields a seed called the Nevada jumbo soft shell pine nuts and the dabble leaf pinon pine tree yields a seed call by the natives in New Mexico pinon nuts or simply just called pinon or pinones. Both seeds are edible as raw nuts and can be eaten as roasted or toasted nuts.

How to: Roast or toast organic pine nuts or organic pinion nuts
The simplest and most convenient way to roast your organic pine nuts is to place a frying pan over your stove or camp fire and add a desired amount of pine nuts. When they are raw pine nuts they have a different flavor as all raw nuts do. By roasting them it brings about a richer flavor to your raw pine nuts. For some folks this is the only way to consume their organic product of pine nuts. Bring your frying pan to heat and stir your organic raw pine nuts to prevent them from burning as you would popcorn or during other toasting procedures. Their done once the freshly roasted organic pine nuts begin to pop like popcorn. Now remove them quickly from the heat to avoid them from burning up. This is a simple pine nut recipe for all those that don’t like or care to have salt added to their roasted pine nuts, but if you’d like them to be salty add a very small amount of water to your pan only enough to moist your pine nuts, add the amount of salt to your liking and stir in your frying pan until they become dry and begin to pop. Then remove them from the heat and wait approximately 5 to 10 minutes for them to cool down before eating your freshly organic roasted pine nuts or freshly toasted pine nuts. What a simple roasting pine nut recipe this is.

How to:

Preserving and storing your fresh organic pine nuts or your fresh pinion nuts.
The simplest and most convenient way is to immediately place your supply of organic pine nuts or organic pinon nuts in a paper bag in a cool dry place keeping them from humidity to avoid mold; always keeping them in a well ventilated area. It would be best to not close your paper sack. Never place them in an air tight container unless they’re in a freezer, otherwise they will become rancid and eventually moldy. Always remember that organic pine nuts and organic pinon nuts are a perishable product. By keeping these simple steps you can preserve your organic raw pine nuts or organic Roasted pine nuts for a very long time allowing them to maintain close to a very fresh taste. When you place them in a freezer always put them in a sealed Ziploc bag or other type of sealed container. Avoid freezing and unfreezing the product as much as possible by sealing them in small quantity bags that contain only a day’s worth for consumption. This is a simple pine nut storing process to enjoy fresh raw pine nuts or freshly roasted pine nuts throughout the year. To Top

Pinyon pine tree growth:
The pinyon pine nut seed commences germination in spring under the snow packs in the wilderness when temperatures reach above 32 Fahrenheit, allowing the seed to stay humid and moist under the snow packs keeping it fresh and frozen under the snow packs through the winter. As the environment warms up the snow starts to melt gradually and the pine nuts seeds commences its germination growth turning it into a pinyon pine tree. Unfortunately, out of the millions of pine nut seeds a very small percentage will reach to become a mature pinyon pine tree. Due to the fact of the harshness of the environment; being exposed to severe hot weather in the summers, in some cases lack of rain where the immature pine tree does not have deep roots to sustain its self and perishes due to the lack of humidly. The wildlife feeds on the sprouting seeds of pine nuts from all kinds of wild birds and mammals that roam the woods leaving behind very few seeds in the end to continue it’s growth that eventually mature into a pinyon pine tree. Due to that fact that the pinyon pine tree relies 100% on Mother Nature for it’s nourishment of humidity for many decades its growth is slow and the favorable warm weather is minimal per cycle year . Once a pinyon pine tree reaches its time for pollination to develop a pinyon pine cone, which takes 18 months to reach its maturity to yield forth the seed of pine nuts that we humans love to consume, it is a very difficult cycle to complete due to the fact that’s the tree relies 100% on the environment for its nourishment. In this period lack of humidity, that nourishes the development of the pine cone, for whatever reason if nature does not provide the natural resources, the tree will abort its fruit. By the following spring the tree will once more intend to with a favorable environment and will begin its pollination and commence once again its 18 month cycle. By early summer you will notice a small marble size pine cone on the tips of the pine tree. The immature cone will grow about one quarter of an inch by the end of the summer and then will become dormant for 6 months until next spring. By having a favorable environment of humidity and temperatures the cones will commence once again quite rapidly in comparison to the previous year. By forcing a pine cone open in early summer you can see the seed’s development in the cones. By mid-summer the cone stops growing and the pine cone’s seed or the pine nut will continue to mature for about 3 more weeks. In most cases the pine nut seed will fully mature by the 10th day of September and will be ready to harvest; even though the pine cone is green and closed shut. By this date of any year someone can feel comfortable in harvesting the green pine cone and placing it in a burlap sack, exposing it to the sun for about 2 to 3 weeks in which the pine cone will gradually begin to open up and you’ll be able to see the pine nuts. I may state that the best way to harvest the pine cones that have the seed of pine nuts inside is by having an extension ladder of aluminum with a bag strapped around our shoulders, which we call picking bags. By using a heavy shirt like those of army type and industrial gloves to protect from the very sticky pine gum that the pine cone produces and the sharp pine needles that can cause severe soreness to your hands and arms. Throughout the years we have learned the easiest way to removes pine gum form your hands and your hair is by buying some mechanics hand cleaner by rubbing the hand cleaner on the pine gum removing it is quick and easily. Once you have harvested the pine cones and having them in your burlap bag exposed to the heat of the sun, the hardest part of the work is done. Once the pine cones are opened one can beat the sack a little by shaking it and hitting it against a rough surface, allowing the pine nuts to separate from the pine cones. Once the simple procedure is done, simply empty the sack into something of your choosing and separate the pine nuts from the pine cones.

There are two simple ways to separate the good pine nuts form the bad pine nuts. One that is practical and simple is by getting a container of water and pouring the pine nuts into the water, by many this is called floating the pine nuts. The pine cone residue and pine needles and hollow pine nuts will float; the good pine nuts that have fruit inside will sink to the bottom. You can remove the top waste and then collecting the good pine nuts from the bottom and exposing the pine nuts to the sun to dry them. This procedure of cleaning your pine nuts, which is called by many is called floating your pine nuts. This will not damage or hurt your product of pine nuts from there natural state in anyway as long as you will dry them completely and store them properly. Another simple and practical way of selecting your good seed of pine nuts from the bad pine nuts and residue of pine cone is by simple putting them in front of blower. The heavy pine nuts will drop straight down closer to the blower and the bad pine nuts and residue will fly farther away. Once your pine nuts are separated your may ask how may I store them properly to keep them fresh throughout the year. Another simple procedure that if followed your pine nuts will stay fresh, soft, and juicy throughout the year by simple placing them in a Ziploc bag or another container and placing them in the freezer. Whether your pine nuts are fresh raw, freshly shelled pine nuts or freshly roasted pine nuts they keep better and stay fresher if placed in and kept in your freezer at all times. There are many culinary uses for pine nuts recipes for many cultures and customs all the ones that I have tasted are extremely delicious we will place many pine nut recipes, pine nut nutritional information, pine nut nutritional value and pine nut health benefits on this web site for your personal benefit.

The native American people highly value the pine nut as a food supply for their fall and winter food source for many century’s. There is much tradition in personally harvesting the pine nuts and using them for there ceremonial gatherings that they had in their reservation communities and festivals. Some tribes that I am acquainted with every year that I harvest pine nuts from look forward of hearing from me. I can happily say that throughout the years I have donated many hundreds of pounds to some of these tribes for their personal uses. They’re very appreciated that I take the self initiative and have given them a gift of pine nuts for these purposes since much of their elderly people have a difficult time going to do their own personal harvest of pine nuts by all means you never find one native American in Nevada that doesn’t love to consume pine nuts.

Everyone keeps asking me “Where to buy nuts in bulk?” When I think about it I really become to realize that there are thousands of sources, but the true test is which one has the best nuts available in regards to taste and quality. When I go to look to buy nuts in bulk I sometimes can’t help but think that any source where the price is lowest will do. On the other hand I don’t want to buy a dried up, flavorless and malnourished nut. When I look for pine nuts I think to myself why buy nuts in bulk if I’m not saving so much money from buying just a few pounds. Let me now confuse you with such varied questions. I’m simply pointing out that when looking to buy nuts in bulk; you are looking for a significant amount in price difference and comparing quality as well. Please understand that quality nuts are always going to cost a reasonable amount more that the average price of the lower quality nuts. Here at our web site we give you the option to buy nuts in bulk at a great price, always offering top quality pine nuts with no low class nuts in our inventory. When buying these nuts in bulk you most often will be given the option to buy nuts in smaller quantities without the need to place a larger order.

When I was younger I remember buying pine nuts at my local markets and seeing that there was a standard market section and the bulk section of the store, I never would bother with the bulk area. However, as time went buy I became curious and went to that part of the store that said “Bulk Orders” and quickly came to realize the big difference in prices between the bulk nuts and the individual pound bags. I guess since I never really ate more than a certain amount of pine nuts in season during the week I never thought to think ahead and buy more pine nuts up front. Well, now since, my family and I have put our monies together to purchase 50, 100, or 200 pounds of bulk nuts. Doing so we save almost, if not up to 50%, which depending on the amount we buy turns into hundreds of dollars. Bulk nuts are found all over the internet and of course at most all grocery market or health food stores. Buying nuts in bulk will save you money and time. I mean think of it. All the time we spend driving and look or walking in the store to get our pine nuts. If we already had them bulk at home we would have one less thing on our checklist to get at the market or to order online. Imagine if we only ordered two or five pound of pine nuts and on the internet and paid for shipping and than 2 weeks later did the same thing. Imagine that! I mean we have customers that do that for the whole pine nut season. Some of them place ten separate orders and would pay for shipping. Besides the higher price per pound when purchasing smaller amount you may pay a repetitive amount for shipping which adds up to more money in the long run. Perhaps next time you’ll consider purchasing bulk nuts, either all for yourself or combined funs with the family and save a good amount of money. Imagine, you could use that saved money to watch or rent a movies to enjoy your bulk nuts with.

Throughout the many years we have discovered a vast amount of information to compile recipe pine nuts. With such information we can give our readers precise and specific details in which recipes for pine nuts they use. Several years ago a fellow asked me what recipe for pine nuts I used the most. Interestingly enough for the man I hadn’t had a quick enough response, which gave him doubt of my expertise. He soon left thinking I sold pine nuts but that I knew not what I was selling. Shortly after that experience I search the internet thoroughly for recipe pine nuts or pine nut recipes in which to my amazement found that pine nuts were such a commodity and used in so many various recipes one could lose track of all the variations and types of preparation pine nuts evolved around in the many different cultures. When people are searching for recipe pine nuts they don’t realize that they need to be more specific as to the type of recipe they want. For example; do you want chicken with pine nuts, basil and pesto sauce with pine nuts, or do you want tomato with beef and broccoli in your recipe for pine nuts. Since that day my disappointed customer left my stand I ponder now and then which recipe for pine nuts I prefer among the dozen I have sample and tasted. I’d now say that recipe pine nuts of my choice remain the chicken spaghetti with pesto basil sauce. When thinking next time about what to cook for your special guest look no further than a specific search on Google for your recipe pine nuts.

Alright, when was the last time you looked for recipes pine nuts online or in your cookbook? I would say that it use to be difficult to find a book that had much recipes for pine nuts and those really long books were almost impossible to browse with their small fine print and 100’s of pages of recipes. Now when I look at a book I rush to the index which now a day I feel specifies pine nuts and all the particular pages that have recipes for pine nuts. I notice that when browsing the web for information, many times using only specific information and not a full phrase will give more wanted results. Throughout the times of modern technology methods have been developed to browse vast amounts of information in a moment of time. “Recipes pine nuts” is just a short phrase of information that people search on a daily basis. My experience has taught me that in order to obtain the most relevant and basic detail about any specific topic is to think of a phrase that shortly and accurately identifies the purpose of the desired information.

Delicious toasted pine nuts are one thing that pine nut fans go crazy for. When I say crazy I really mean crazy. Telling someone who has never tried pine nuts that they’re crazy for the toasted pine nuts might sound more like an exaggeration, but it is not. The amazing flavor and juicy texture of this commodity is world renowned and treasured in many cultures throughout the entire globe. I get asked a lot about how I love to toast pine nuts. My quickest and one of my favorite was to toast them is on a skillet pan with a half a teaspoon of water for two cups of pine nuts on high for about ten minutes. Of course you mix them only when needed to prevent them from burning and sample them until they’re ready. I love toasted pine nuts! As a matter of fact I don’t know if I have ever tried a toasted pine nut that I didn’t like (as long as it wasn’t burned). I recall when I was a kid my father teaching me how to toast them. He did it the same way I just mentioned, but I always saw toasting pine nuts as an art. I thought it incredible how something so small could be so tasty. I was shocked when I learned that boiling pine nuts and then toasting them on the stove for a few more minutes was so easy and oh so good. Ever since I was a kid I have always loved toasted pine nuts. I eat them as a snack or toss them into my everyday dishes for a blast of flavor. They add this great texture and flavor to almost any meal. Try them in a ham sandwich, roasted or raw. In the end many people say that the toasted pine nuts are the best, although many others will say that the raw ones are. Either way, enjoy your pine nuts, whether you get them from WholeSale Pine Nuts .com or from another source. If you have never tried them roasted, perhaps your should keep it that way because there is a very high possibility that once you’ve tried toasted pine nuts you won’t want them any other way.

What are pine nuts? Great question! Pine nuts are one of the most popular commodity on the American and worldwide markets, when it comes to foods. Pine nuts in many cultures are literally a source of food and regarded as a blessing from God and to those who are natives, as a blessing from mother earth. My friends always ask me that same question, I mean, my friends who are not already pine nut addicts. Simply put, pine nuts are small seeds that come from pine cones that contain much nutritional value and in most every species or variety of pine nuts, a great taste. I love to entertain my customers or guests on the facts and health benefits of pine nuts. My wife would tell me that I have no other life than pine nuts, although she knows that’s not true at all. Pine nuts have been around from the very beginning and we hope they stay around forever. Thinking of a year without pine nuts saddens me more than it should. I guess, being raised on them, I have acquired a sense of craving in the seasons that pine nuts are normally available. Ever since we started offering or providing pine nuts in the out of season months we have received many comments by our customers about how they now feel like that can’t go even a month without them. Perhaps that explains a lot of the large orders in the last few weeks that we had them available to order online. Now going back to the main question about what are pine nuts, the question could only be accurately answered once it is more specified, since the question can be phrased in a wide amount of various ways. For example; “What are pine nuts to you?” and “What are pine nuts good for”?” or “What are pine nuts used for?” I’ve also heard people ask, “What are pine nuts used for in nature?” So now that you have a little idea of what I’m talking about, next time specify your question when asking or wanting to ask, “What are pine nuts?”

Many years ago I would go to the market hoping to see things for sell, especially for pine nuts buy or a pine nut sale.

I knew when the stores had them and which stores were already sold out or when they would restock. Shopping around for pine nuts to buy became a treat and I still find time in my busy schedule to do some quick research to know where and when the pine nuts buy are around, however now I do it to know my competition and not necessarily where to purchase my pine nuts, since I do harvest my own.

Yesterday I found these great pine nut recipes. Once I tried them and had the tasted I knew I’d never go without these recipes in my weekly meals again. It took only a few minutes to find these recipes and the taste so delicious, I wonder where in the world did this recipe come from, why haven’t I’ve ever tried it before. Your friends and family tell me the same thing and with all their comments we only hope to provide more pine nut recipes in the near future or at least links where they can be found. I imagine as with every recipe, there was some person who began experimenting with pine nuts and tossing them in their favorite dishes and mixing them with other ingredients when they arrived at the recipes that are now used by people from all around the world. While talking to customers and friends I get asked about pine nut recipes all the time. Some people had no idea that pine nuts could be put in food. Some had no idea that pine nuts were even consumable by humans, the always thought that only animals ate them and that nature planted them just to look beautiful. Well if you didn’t know, now you do, pine nut recipes are available all over the internet, just search Google and you’ll find all the recipes your heart and mouth will delight in.

Toasting pine nuts is one of the best ways to release the great flavor that pine nuts have. Learning how there toasted and which ingredient to toast them with is very simple. For example, when toasting pine nuts I use just water and my favorite type of salt. Some people cannot eat salt, so all you do is skip the salting instructions. I begin by using a frying pan or my favorite cast iron skillet. I place that on the stove on high and put my pine nuts in the pan. I wait a few moments until I can see or feel the pan is nice and hot. Once the pan is nice and hot I will put one table spoon of water for every 2 cups of pine nuts. The water is used to allow the pine nuts to cook gently without burning. Many people use oil or butter to cook them, however that takes away from the great natural taste of the pine nuts. The water allows toasting pine nuts to maintain their amazing flavor and scent. The water also helps the nuts to attain a boil in order to fully cook it. As a matter of speaking, the more boiled you want your pine nuts to be (which makes them very tender), use more water. Some people will actual boil them in a pot of water for ten or so minutes and add salt to the water toward the end of the boiling and just eat them like that. They taste great that way. Others like to boil them and then toast them on the stove until all or most of the water evaporates off of the shells and eat them that way, which makes them nice and crunchy.

Now back to the basic instructions. If you’re a salt person than add your preferred amount of salt onto the pine nuts after adding the water, by doing so the salt will vaporize onto the pine nuts and by the time they are all cooked the water would of dried. One last thing to mention is that in order to get the pine nuts the best possible way, according to your liking is to sample them every once in a while until you get them the way you like them. Once you taste two or three pine nuts that are to your liking turn the stove off and move the pan onto a place where there is no heat exposure. If the pan is really hot and even smoking than you want to make sure that you continue to cool down the pan by mixing the pine nuts thoroughly and very often until you see that the pine nuts won’t burn or cook anymore. When toasting pine nuts you should remember that is takes only 8-10 minutes to cook them and that you should sample them often and even more often when they are near ready to avoid over cooking them. Simply take them off the stove once your done toasting the pine nuts. There you got it, toasting pine nuts is that simple, yet is well worth the short time and brings a flavor and aroma to your kitchen that you’re just going to not be able to wait much longer again before you cook them again.

Ever look online for recipes and come short of that perfect recipe. Many people online search Google for pesto without pine nuts. However, I’m here to ask, “Why wouldn’t you want pine nuts in pesto?” I mean, pine nuts make the best pesto. Excuse me, in my opinion they do. Pesto without pine nuts is like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the jelly or broccoli soup without broccoli. I know you probably think I’m exaggerating, but when someone mentions pesto sauce, it is very uncommon to not use pine nuts in pesto. Many people say that pesto is not a full word or is not complete without pine nuts. Alright, so of course pesto is a word and pine nuts can be added to it. But have you ever tried pine nuts with pesto and then tried eating pesto all by itself. Yeah, now you know what I’m saying.

People ask me what are best, raw pine nuts or roasted pine nuts? Well, I than ask them to be more specific because what exactly do they mean by best? Do they mean taste? Do they mean best in size or best in health? Depending on their specific question I would reply either raw pine nuts, roasted pine nuts, or even, salted roasted pine nuts. However, to the average consumer of pine nuts in general, meaning, out of pine nuts from all around the world, raw pine nuts is the most demanded form for this commodity.

Many years ago when I purchased several edible pine nuts from China I began to easily see that pine nuts price is not based on labor, but on quality. I could tell in the store that there were pine nuts from more than just one country, such as Korea, Afghanistan, Russia, Portugal, and Italy. They all at that time were being sold as bulk pine nuts for the same price a pound. Ok, so what determined the pine nuts price at that time was not exactly the pine nuts nutrition or the size, it was the demand. Due to that specific store being located in a very diverse cultural area they had a high demand of pine nuts even Korean pine nuts or those pine nuts china almost all year round. From all these many different cultures a large or majority of the consumers purchased this commodity due to its pine nuts nutrition. Bulk pine nuts have always been known to be a bit cheaper or lower in price however those pine nuts specifically from China or pine nuts china have always seemed until the last recent years to have the lowest price. Korean pine nuts have always seemed to be quite moderate in price as well. When I get asked about my products, I’m first asked “Are these edible pine nuts?” Well I always get a kick out of it.

Many people trying growing pine nuts with little success, due to their sensitive nature; which is more risky when one tries to plant the unordinary. Storing pine nuts is another thing that is sensitive depending on how long you wish for them to be preserved and on the pine nuts origin. The pine nut tree can be found in where the natives call the pine nut Mountains. Growing pine nuts outside of the pine nut mountains is costly than just buying them at Wholesale Pine Nuts. I have heard, but am not certain, that in China and Russia they plant their forests; which in the most part are boarding forest where the Chinese pine nuts are harvested. When it comes to the pine nuts origin you really need to know the basics as to where and when the pine nuts were harvested. That can tell a pine nut man a lot about the pine nuts origin. However, to keep things simple many believe that pine nuts are only found in their native land, since there has never really been a need to harvest or to growing pine nuts in foreign land.

Did you know that a healthy and natural way to lose weight is found within pine nuts appetite suppressant? The pine nut extract that derives from the kernel naturally contains ingredients that the body can use to maintain a healthy appetite. Pine nuts protein on the other hand works for building muscle.

My use of this food is not because of the pine nuts appetite suppressant and neither their pine nut extract that makes pine nuts healthy, but because I love the taste and flavor and the family tradition; all the memories they give. I for one love the pine nut sauce along with the pine nut cake and a pine nut tart every now and then. The pine nuts protein, which makes up a large percentage of what the pine nut seeds consist of along with the oils, which in part might contain protein, is best when pine nuts storage is optimal. Rancid pine nuts do not contain the healthy nutrition that the fresher and cared for pine nuts do. Pine nut hummus contains a healthy blend of all these nutrients along with the other ingredients that are in the dish. Think healthy when you go next time to shop for pine nuts.

However, how many people, with all the other brand names of pistachio nuts, really know what a great tasting and high quality pistachio nut is suppose to taste like. Now going back to ordering pine nuts online, the same concept applies. Now you might ask why I compared it to searching for pesto recipe pine nuts, which is indeed a good question. Pesto recipe pine nuts is not a very clear and relative search in Google and therefore it may take much longer to find a relative recipe, especially from so many other options of pesto pine nut recipes. Likewise, neither is pine nuts nut. Now if you’re looking for instructions for cooking pine nuts you will find tons of relative basic significant information. Why is pine nuts nut no a relative search? It is simply because pine nuts nut is a reciprocal of its own name. Now pine nut recipe is direct and to the point and logical. Just as pine nut recipe describes the ingredients of it recipe, so does the title of its name when searching for a detailed or specific product or phrase. Cooking pine nuts is neither specific nor direct, but it is, accordingly and logically know to be asking how to toast or roast pine nuts on their own, without a significant amount or change in ingredients from its original form.

Do you use pine nuts? Are pine nuts expensive? Try checking pine nuts Costco where you might find a great bargain on your favorite Chinese pine nuts. Well when I was young I remember having to go to the market and buy pine nuts. Even back then I thought they were much more prier than the standard nuts, however since my parent requested I go specifically to the store to buy pine nuts at Costco, I did just that. My parents now use pine nuts in all there favorite cuisine and salads, along with side dishes. I get asked by customers all the time how much pine nuts calories there are in a handful of pine nuts. People will try and use the pine nuts calories or say that pine nuts are expensive to not buy them, although they will pay two dollars for a liter of coke at the store, which will only last a few moments in taste. Do we sell pine nuts expensive? Absolutely not, we sell them as if we were pine nuts Costco; dirt cheap and great quality. With so little bit of pine nuts calories I do not worry to use pine nuts in my recipes for those guests whom are trying to reduce their calories. Besides it only take a small number of pine nuts to use in most all recipes and cuisines. On the other hand, nature create a beautiful balance in bring pine nuts as they do not cause you to gain any bad weight; however the extra ingredients in the recipe might. To Top

Additional Pine Nut Information added August 25th, 2010 1:52 PM MT:

Eating raw pine nuts in shell is a very healthy habit, since you are not taking any of the nutritional value out of the pine nuts by cooking them or changing there chemistry. I recall back when I would only eat the raw pine nuts in the shell. This was only mainly due to the fact that I did not know how to roast them or bake them. Once I discovered how, I began using the two or three different variations of eating pine nuts. Although I love the roasted pine nuts in shell, I have to say that my ultimate is the raw pine nuts in shell. My friends agree half the time, others will say that the roasted are by far better. However, many will admit that when salting them, the salt can be a little too much sometimes and leave a pinenutholic with a burnt tongue. By far, to me, the raw pine nuts in shell keep you happy and never leave you regretting you ate so much. Since pine nuts are so healthy for you, just note that they will only do you good when eating raw pine nuts in shell. The raw pine nuts with no shell are not as fresh and do not contain as much nutritional value as a fresh in shell pine nut.

Have you ever tried shelling pine nuts? I have! It is actually quite easy, however, when shelling large quantities for certain recipes, it can be very time consuming and painstakingly frustrating. That is why restaurants or many other individuals or companies, such as those that make pesto sauce, will prefer not shelling pine nuts on their own. They will actually buy only pre-shelled pine nuts or pay another company to shell their pine nuts. However, on an individual basis shelling pine nuts for a quick snacks is much preferred, especially if the pine nuts are roasted with salt. Pine nuts, at least the Nevada and California pine nuts can easily be crack by using your teeth and or your fingers. Once you have had a moment of practice shelling pine nuts, it is no big deal to most people, and even easier and more worthwhile than the loved sunflower seeds.

If you have not already tried roasting pine nuts in shell than you might want to consider it. Leaving the shell on to roast the pine nuts is most preferred by individuals, because the shell allows for a more thorough toast throughout and within the seed. Roasting pine nuts in shell actually is one of the best way to bake your pine nuts and will bring out the outstanding flavor this commodity contains. Looking back now until the time when I first became familiar with pine nuts, I recall always roasting pine nuts in shell. Besides it being faster and more simple to do so, I think it is the way many cultures have always known how to cook pine nuts. As my family personally prefers roasting pine nuts in shell, we never prior to about a year ago, had roasted any large amounts pine nuts with no shell. However, we learn new things everyday and as a family that focuses on pine nuts a one form of business, we are always looking for new horizons and technique to improve what we offer to our customers.

When comparing the many different ways to roast pine nuts we run into the the most common way of roasting them. That for is know as “unshelled roasting” or “roasting unshelled pine nuts”, which is also referred as “roasting pine nuts”, since all pine nuts originally have a shell. “Unshelled” is the opposite of “shelled”, shelled meaning, depending on the way in which it is used, and action, being the action of shelling, or “shell being removed”. Therefore unshelled is “a shell that is not being or has not been removed”. However, when using a phrase such as “this is a shelled pine nut”, it refers to a pine nuts with the shell on. Ok, so back to roasting unshelled pine nuts, or pine nuts “with” the shell on. The majority of our customers, having been very familiar with the Nevada Pinyon Pine Nuts, have never or never had prior, tried roasting the pine nuts any other way, than unshelled, or “with” the shell on. To many people, roasting unshelled pine nuts is the most obvious and convenient way to roast pine nuts. To this day, we have many customers who have not even tried roasting pine nuts without the shell because they are accustomed and satisfied with what they have always done, that is, roasting unshelled pine nuts.

Every now and than when roasting shelled pine nuts some families will use an olive oil or butter to a specific amount, which adds an extra texture and flavor to the recipe. It is said or know that roasting shelled pine nuts, or pine nuts with no shell that in order to prevent burning a baking or frying ingredient is necessary. Many people will use basic standard cooking oil which leaves a weird or unwanted taste in the pine nuts. That is why is is very important that when roasting shelled pine nuts that you have an oil or other ingredient in which flavor you really do enjoy. I know that some people will use margarine in their recipe and call our company complaining about that bad after taste. All of this can be prevented by roasting shelled pine nuts with a much more preferable additive or oil.

Have you ever tried to find or buy pine nuts bulk and been given the runarounds and deceptive prices. I know in the past decades we have had many customers whom have been able to discover our company who said that that’s exactly what happened to them. When comparing pine nut prices in bulk to the retail price, you will be amazed at the drastic differences. When buying pine nuts bulk you will tend to save a great deal on if you just bought pine nuts every now and than. Especially if you are a pine nut addict and you can’t help but purchase them every time you visit the grocery store. Besides saving a lot by buying pine nuts bulk, you will actually save time and gas, because those of you who grew up on this commodity will know that it is not uncommon to drive clear to the store just to get your favorite winter snack.

I get asked a lot about any good pine nut substitute, something that is not so expensive, but that equals the greatness of pine nuts. I often would tell them that some people will stay with sun flower seeds or pistachios, while others will choose pecans or walnuts. Sunflowers seeds, happen to be a number one pine nut substitute, but not because of taste or greatness, but because like pine nuts when roasted, they have been known to help keep people awake. Now when I get asked if sunflower seeds is a good pine nut substitute, I will tell them “Unfortunately not.” Due to my opinion that nothing other than a pine nut can substitute for another pine nut.

Throughout my selling days I was confronted many times about pine nut shortage. People would sometimes go a year or two, or three without pine nuts being available in the stores, this resulting in me being asked so many times in a good harvest year about pine nut shortage. In which case I would refer to the year or years prior and than tell the customer that this year was either a prosperous year, that we had a bumper crop, or that, it was scarce, but that we were able to find them. Years ago when we would sell to the stores, we would get demands like crazy due to the pine nut shortage. However, years ago, even in a scarce year, prices were still very low, and it made a big difference as to our business needs, for we were making less than prior year, as cost were the same, if not more. Now, we have learned much and during a pine nut shortage, we take into consideration inflated prices and customer pricing limits, so to be fair for both sides, from seller to buyer.

What is pine nut production? Well pine nut production is simply how many, weight-wise, pine nuts or pine cones are harvested in any given area. I have seen in my life a wave of difference in pine nut production from year to year. It seems that in years that pine nuts are a bumper crop that there is a period of 2-4 years until there is another good harvest. Now, a bumper crop for pine nut production it appears has happened around every 6-10 years in the last 50 years that our family has been harvesting this commodity.

Pine nuts prices, as you can tell, have fluctuated very much in the last seven harvesting season. I vividly remember when pine nuts 7 years ago were easily and happily sold for a mere $4.50 - $5.50 a pound. Now a days the prices retail ranges from $8 - $13.00 per pound. Theses jumping differences in pine nuts prices more than likely shows an idea of the inflated price in the dollar. Since I am no economist I cannot say for certain, however, our prices have gone up simply due to a raise in our expenses, which include the raise in wages. I imagine that in order for any company to stay on top of things, they must first assure that there expense do not overwhelm there profit margin to stay in business.

Did you know that depending on the variety of pine nut, that pine nuts sale at some very interesting price gaps or differences. For example, the Nevada Soft Shell Pine Nuts sale for approximately thirty to forty percent cheaper than the New Mexico Pinon Pine Nuts. Pine Nuts sale for almost one hundred percent more in China than they do in the USA. This is mainly due to the nature in which the pine nut is provided, which is with the husk or shell removed, leaving more pine nut meat per pound. It is interesting to note that when USA pine nuts sale cheaper than in other locations, it is mainly because the pine nuts did not have to be transported as far as the others.

When pine nuts sales are low, it is not precisely a reflection on prices, it is a reflection on demand. It is common knowledge that after the holidays, in this case I’ll say Christmas pine nuts are normally sold out and not available on the market. However, we have realized that once people discover that pine nuts are indeed still on the market, pine nuts sales will increase. However, due to this being the case, that pine nuts are not much known to be available after New Years, pine nuts sales are never or have never been significantly high for most stores or companies in the later months after the Fall season.

The last time I had seen pine nuts on sale was not because the seller was having a “good day”, but because the pine nuts were not as fresh and demand was not as high for the less fresher ones. It makes sense doesn’t it. I mean, when a commodity is not so popular, especially due to quality, than the price cannot be raised, instead the pine nuts on sale are sometimes reduced in price even more. On the other hands, many stores or companies will place there pine nuts on sale to attract attention within the market and shortly afterwards raise the price substantially to make up for lost profits. However, If you can find pine nuts on sale, and they are great quality, than why not take advantage of that opportunity and get them while the price is low.

Ever since 801 pine nut .com arrived on the internet we have received many emails as to why we used that name. well, to keep it simple 801 pine nut .com is just another quick way to remember a phone number and a web site at the same time. As you imagine, WholeSale Pine Nuts .com uses 801 pine nut .com to promote there local access number or business web site that sells pine nuts. We are looking for other ways to promote our web site by using such strategies as a phone number and a domain name simultaneous on bumper stickers. Let us know if you found 801 pine nut .com on a bumper sticker, we’d like to know if there working.

We began using 801 pine nuts .com as another domain source for pine nuts since it was easy to memorize into a phone number along with 801 pine nut .com in which the singular and plural form of the word “pine nut(s)” often led to misspelling. Whether you go to our web site 801 pine nuts .com or 775 pine nut .com you will see that we are the same provider. There is nothing wrong with owning other websites that customers know you by. For example, 801 pine nuts .com has its benefits, because most people who type in the url address bar will almost always put the plural form of a word instead of its singular form. Now when is comes to using it as a phone number we imagine that most everyone knows that 801 pine nuts .com already has too many digits for a phone number, therefore on our bumper stickers it show 801 pine nut .com; pine nut having seven digits and 801 being the complete number with ten digits.

When our customers in Nevada ask us for a quick number to contact us at we simply tell them 775 pine nut .com and they immediately know that 775 pine nut is the number and if they wanted to go to our web site all they do is type in the .com after of phone number in the web browser and immediately they will find us. 775 pine nut .com makes it easy for customers to order and to get in contact with WholeSale Pine Nuts .com. Many times we will actually give out the wrong number to the wrong people or by accident. For example we tell an interested buyer to call us at “775 pine nuts .com” and they say “Wait, I want a phone number not a web site” Well we simply tell them to just dial the first ten digits or letters of that domain name and they’ll be able to remember and call us at that number. The same concept applies with 775 pine nut .com, which is the singular form. Since both web site addresses or numbers contain the identical first ten characters the customer cannot be mistaken when calling using that information.

I get asked by a few customers, what is the difference between having this web site or the other domain name, well not that there is a physical difference between 775 pine nuts .com and 775 pine nut .com, but that there is a technical difference, in which has all to do with peoples spelling habits and memory. I know this all seems like a bunch of nonsense, since all you want to do is buy pine nuts. Well than, call 775 pine nuts .com or WholeSale Pine Nuts .com and we can get your order out as soon as possible. Another thing to mention, in case none of this is making any sense, is that 775 pine nuts .com has the contact number of the company within the first ten digits of its domain name, being 775 - PINE NUT.

Interesting Pine Nut Production, Growth Information, and Photos below:

Pinyon Pine Tree (Optimal for Pine Nut Production)

Pinyon Pine tree cones under development in late Spring. In the late Summer of 2010 this tree here will be optimal in maturity and size to yield a good harvest when nature permits it according to environmental conditions. This tree already has gone from pollination to cone development for approximately 16 months and lacks two more months for seeds to mature and be ready for the harvest for 2010. To Top

Pinyon Pine Tree Under Pollination (Pollen seen on many Branches)

This Pinyon Pine tree receives adequate nourishment from humidity and other sources from mother nature and environmental conditions. We know this due to the fact that the tree is dark green and has yield forth a tremendous amount of pollen. One can tell without any scientific analysis that this tree is strong and feels healthy to begin its 18 month cycle for fruit production which began with pollination in the early spring of 2010. By late Spring this tree, if it continues to be healthy and feels strong, will yield forth a small pinyon pine cone the size of a small marble and than become dormant until the following spring of 2011, than maturing with seed for harvest that following summer. To Top

Pinyon Pine Cones Development (Big and Small Cones)

Pinyon Pine tree with cones under development in late Spring 2010. This picture illustrates that the large cone, if mother nature permits, will be ripened and ready to harvest by late summer. The small marble size cones will remain dormant for the rest of the year of 2010, until the following Spring of 2011 when they will commence growth. By late Spring the small cones, if mother nature permits will look the size of the large cones and than yield fruit or pine nut seed by late summer of 2011. To Top

Pinyon Pine Cones In Late Spring (Bumper Crop)

Pinyon Pine tree in the late Spring of 2010 with a bumper crop on its limbs. These cones are still under development, the cone will continue to grow some more and the seeds inside will continue to develop and mature by the 2nd week of September. By late Spring these cones look healthy, like there going to yield forth fruit. However, sometimes, by Mother Natures lack of nourishment and environmental conditions, some cones will tend to wither away and die. To Top

American Pinyon Pine Nut and Pinon Pine Nut Production Information for Fall Season of 2010:

The Nevada Soft Shell Jumbo Pine Nut harvest for the season of 2010 is looking to be approximately 50% less of what it was last season in 2009. Due to insufficient moisture and nourishment for the continuation of seed development in late Spring and Summer, many areas simply withered away and dried up. There is still expected to be a harvest of significant amount for the public to have there share of pine nuts. Expect a considerable price increase in comparison to a month through a year ago. On the other hand there is much prospect towards the 2011 harvest, which is looking very positive and good so far. However we still lack twelve months to determine its production.

Now for the New Mexico SouthWest Hard Shell Pinon Pine Nuts, the harvest for this year is predicted to be very low in comparison to last year. There are too many factors involved and all the reasons would be too many to list. The 2011 harvest for the New Mexico SouthWest Hard Shell Pinon Pine Nuts is looking very promising towards a bumper crop. However, we will have to see what happens in 2011. To Top

Pinyon Pine Tree with Perished (Dry) and Healthy Cones

This picture illustrates a Pinyon Pine tree and pine cone in late summer 2010. This shows the green cone mature and ready to harvest by later summer 2010, while the dry cones on the left display that due to the lack of moisture and other environmental conditions the cones have become brown and dried up and have been caused to perish (plaques are also another factor involved). Unfortunately, only the green cones will yield harvest as the brown cones represent the many dead and aborted cones. We estimate that over 50% of the harvest of 2010 has perished this way due to lack of humidity and plaques. To Top

Pinyon Pine Nut Seed FrostBite Damage (September 6th or 7th, 2010)

On or around September 6th or 7th 2010 the pine nut producing mountains of Nevada for the year received a chill which was the cause for a percentage of damage to the seeds of the producing trees in the area. Due to the freeze many pine nut seeds were frozen and left inedible for the natural inhabitants of the forest, as well for human consumption. This occurrence is not the only of its kind. It is actually common, if not a factor of nature for such to take place annually, with or without an anticipated harvest on the line, in practically all the forests in Nevada. The images above show a pine nut in which we have removed the shell to show you how the seed has been damaged. The images display the exact same pine nut, just at different angles to get a better view at the damage caused by the freeze. Notice the thicker end of the pine nut, which was the least damaged, however due to its color, light pink (or beige), it is still damaged and literally speaking, remains inedible. The beige color should in fact be white, which is a sign of a good maturing seed. Remember, this is a Nevada Soft Shell Pine Nut and all the details in the above paragraph are in reference to this species of pine nut. To Top

Cause for "Pine Mouth Syndrome" or "Metallogeusia" in Pine Nuts Discovered

WholeSale Pine Nuts .com staff is pleased to announce that they have discovered the reason behind bitterness in pine nuts, known as “pine mouth” or “pine mouth syndrome” and medically as “metallogeusia“ (meh-tal-ah-GOO-zee-ah). We dedicated much time and effort to come up with these knowledgeable results and we do not intend to be greedy with the information, but as you know, knowledge, time and effort deserve credit and compensation.

We intend to pass this on to our customers in offering them a clean and pure product in our shelled (no shell) pine nuts, that they may enjoy the benefit of our trade secret of bitter-free pine nuts, as we will continue to offer this product in the near future. We hope to begin making them available by the end of November 2010. We have marketed several thousand pounds of our product to different parts of America (USA) and we have not had a single, yes, that’s right, not one bad feedback or complaint by our several hundred customers of bitterness in our pine nuts. We are satisfied with our results of zero percent (0 %) complaints of bitter after-taste in our product. Our trade secret is available to anyone who is interested to know. We can discuss with anyone our trade secret that they may also offer bitterness free pine nuts to the world.

As you may already know, the cause of pine mouth has to the most part been merely speculated or theorized and possibly those who do know have not yet spoken out. We are not here to point fingers, we only want to inform those interested in how to provide bitter-free pine nuts using the knowledge that we have discovered.

Throughout this last season (2009) when we began to offer American (USA) shelled (no shell) pine nuts we received many emails and phone calls demanding to know if our pine nuts were bitter-free because the customer had once gone through a stage of “metallogeusia” and only wanted pine nuts that were bitter-free, and guaranteed to be bitter-free. Thus, our research and many prior years of experience and knowledge with pine nuts, we began offering, bitter-free pine nuts and more specifically bitter-free shelled (no shell) pine nuts. Best of all, to all you who esteem your American Patriotism, our pine nuts are American Pine Nuts or better said “Produce of U.S.A.” or “Product of U.S.A.”.

For now we find little need to explain here in this article what consumers are experiencing with this “pine nut mouth syndrome”, due to the overwhelming amount of stories and information and the many published articles that can be found by doing a quick search on the web. Therefore, for now, we will leave this article as is.

We hope that if you have suffered from pine nut mouth, that you will consider buying our shelled (no shell) pine nuts and give them a try and put our words and guaranty to the test. Whichever you decide, we hope you never have to go through another phase or stage of “metallogeusia” or easier pronounced and commonly know as “pine mouth” or “pine mouth syndrome”. Have a lovely day! To Top

Naturally Opened Healthy Pine Cone with Healthy Seed

The above image gives a close example to one the most ideal forms and body structures of a healthy pine cone with seed. As you can tell the seeds are dark, which is in sense is due to its high form of health, being rich in vital nutrients and very fresh. Although pine nuts that are less darker taste great, it is highly said that the best tasting Nevada Pinyon Pine Nuts are those with a darker color, while on the other hand, many others say that the taste is to slight to really tell the difference. If you look more closely at the pine cone at the second to lowest set of pine seed slots (pouches holding the seed), there is a seed missing on the left. Although we do not recall or know if this seed was missing before or after this particular cone was naturally open, we do know that in nature there are some seedless pockets or slots found in many pine cones. We know this because we have opened up green cones and seen the empty pouches and or slots; when ninety-five percent of them were full. If you could see this image in larger view, it appears almost as if there is indeed a light colored pine nut in this empty-looking pouch, however it will now be difficult to confirm this for certain, due to the fact that since this picture was taken we have already removed the seeds from this cone, along with many others.

If you focus on the tip-top of the open cone you will see that there are two other empty pouches or seed slots. These, we are sure did originally contain a seed in each one; however due to nature and movement they must of fallen loose to the ground. On the other hand, just as with the other description of the lower empty pouch, it is not uncommon for these tip-top pouches to naturally be empty; the opposite is also true. Another detail to point out is that, the outer cone (as you can see is the lighter green outline) originally was dark forest green and as the sun heated the cone and dried it up the color faded. Eventually this fresh cone will lose its green shade and fade to a light brown, followed by a sudden change into a rougher darker brown as it ages. Next (below),we will show you examples of pine cones that are not as healthy. We do not like to call them dry pine cones, since the cone above actually is dry, yet not completely dry. The pine nuts you will see take on a drastic physical change when nature intervenes or when they do not have there necessary nutrients provided them. To Top

Damaged Pinyon Pine Cone with Blighted Seed

There are many people who do not take the time to realize that on the large scale all pine nuts, in this case, American pine nuts, grow naturally in the forest where practically 100% of the time Mother-Nature determines the outcome of every seasons harvest. I am not aware of there being any large or significantly large scale "Human grown" (human up bringing) and "human cultivated" for production, going on throughout the world where pine trees are producing seed for commercial or social purposes. In other words, I do not know of any "Pine Tree Orchards Producing Pine Nuts" in which the company or individual benefits by harvesting the seed from the orchard. From my understanding and view point, such an endeavor would, business wise for the sake of profit, be a financial expense that would logically never pay itself off; considering expenses of not relying on nature for nutrients and water along with operating cost, not to mention the many years to get a healthy producing tree. Otherwise, forest transplants would not be considered an exact "human grown" tree.

Alright, now your probably wondering where all this fits into our main topic of "blighted seed". Although the above mentioned can actually cover its own article, I wanted to mention it since many people actually believe that pine nuts, in this case, American pine nuts, or our famous "Nevada Soft Shell Pine Nuts", are harvested in what they call or think is our "Privately owned Orchards". Which is far from the case and neither exist. Knowing this they would never question the scarcity of a season. However, since many are unaware that the commercial pine nut trade relies 100% on Natural Producing trees found in the Natural Forest of the world, in our case, the American forests, we feel to need to mention all this.

Now, looking at the images above you can see that the outer green color of the cone appears to be normal. As a matter of fact, looking at the cone from the outside, the cone appears normal and to the average spectator, healthy. However, there are signs, which I will not discuss at this time, to tell from the outside if the cone is healthy (if the seed is healthy inside). In some cases the seed only becomes damaged once the cone has opened and the seed receives excessive sun exposure or wind damage. On the other hand, in this case, the seed was damaged and dehydrated before it was opened. One of the common reasons for this is simply a lack of nutrients, most-likely water being the major factor. Another common-denominator is that the harsh weather demanded that the cone itself receive the nutrients that was intended for the seed and due to the priority of protecting the seed (the cone being the protective shelter) little nutrients was left for the seed to fully develop. Of course this would only of been the case if there was not a sufficient amount of nutrients to provide for both the cone and the seed. This is something to consider.

Some of the seeds are darker brown then the rest and may as in this case contain holes, which cannot easily be seen in the image above. Although we are not sure for this specific cone, many of these blighted cones where once infested with a worm or worms. These worms enter the cone and deprive it of its nutrients by literally entering the seeds and consuming partial or all of their meaty interior. We are not quite sure why the worm only partially consumes a portion of the seed. It causes us to wonder more when we see several partially consumed seeds within the same cone. Interestingly enough, in a majority of the seed we harvest that was once infested by this worm we do not see the worm, dead nor alive. It would make sense that once the bug received what it needed it would leave. To Top

Season Forcast for Upcoming 2011 Harvest

For all that would like to know how the 2011 Pinyon pine nuts harvest is coming along in regards to ecology in weather patterns, we have great news. As of October 1, 2010 the mountain ranges of Nevada have received above average precipitation for the following harvest of 2011; which is of great significance. As of November 15, 2010 a good snow pack has begun to accumulate in many of the mountain ranges in the great state of Nevada that will last and remain until the following spring of 2011. These snow packs are and have the greatest value towards a potential bumper Pinyon pine nut harvest for the fall of 2011. If Mother-Nature continues with such an aggressive way of delivering nourishment to the forest in the southwest and western states, as we have not seen in many years, we can expect with great anticipation a fabulous and healthy bumper crop of Pinyon pine nuts and pinion piñon nuts.

Check back regularly as we will continue to monitor month to month and month by month the weather patterns of the southwest and western states. These weather patterns are the main factors in bringing forth the healthy and abundant harvest of Pinyon pine nuts in the states of Nevada, California, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming along with the Pinion piñon nuts in the states of New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona.

Pinyon Pine Tree with Open Pine Cones Ready to Harvest

The photo above depicts a fully mature pinyon pine tree with pine cones open and ready to harvest. We chose this full tree view to let those who have not ever harvested pinyon pine nuts see that the amount of time and labor to harvest the majority of the cones (or seeds) from this tree is quite a bit of work. Some branches are much more difficult to reach as other cones are feasibly and unreasonably not worth trying to gather, both for the sack of time and profit, along with energy and to a large part, patience. These cones eventually will dry up enough as to loosen there firm hold of the inside seed and easily allow wind or any slight movement to cause the seed to fall to the ground. Many, if not most individuals picking for pleasure or traditionally will gather the seed that has fallen to the ground. To Top

2011 Harvest Forecast and Snow Packs

Great news concerning pignoli nuts, pinon nuts and most commonly called, pine nuts, for all those in the world community that enjoy a positive and reliable forecast about Pinyon pine nuts or pignoli nuts. The snow packs in the mountains of the West and Southwest are continuing in a very aggressive Fall season of 2010 with above average precipitation in the months of October and above average snow packs in November and December 2010. These are the number one factors to look for in the weather pattern of an 18 months cycle of maturity for the wonderful nuts called pignoli nuts or pinon nuts.

For all of you who wish to know, “pignoli” is an Italian word which signifies the word “pine nuts” here in America. In most cases when referring to “pignoli”, it is actually understood as meaning a “pine nut that has no shell” or that “has been shelled”. Therefore, we here at WholeSale Pine Nuts are anticipating a very bumper crop of pignoli nuts for the fall of 2011 if things continue as humid and with above average precipitations as we have not seen in perhaps more than two decades. Of course, we still have 8 months to go before we know the outcome of our forecast. This forecast is based on our knowledge acquired over the previous 50 years, which perhaps makes us the most credible source for the American pignoli harvest forecast. We never claim to be a hundred percent accurate, since it is only a prediction based on experience and things can change at any moments in time. We are not only pleased, but we are extremely pleased, to be the only family owned business in America to market Shelled (no shell) American grown pignoli nuts. We much prefer to call them American pignoli nuts when they do not have there shell. As time progresses more and more we will convert to call them pignoli nuts which sounds much better than shelled pine nuts or no shell pine nuts.

As we continue with a very optimistic view into the near future of 2011 concerning the pine nut forecast we can also relate that the mountain ranges of the West and Southwest were quite bumper in some areas with the marble size dormant cones, which will continue to develop in the early Spring of 2011 and potentially yield forth the fruit we call pignoli nuts in the Fall of 2011. Let’s not disregard the fact that plagues can take a heavy toll on the delicate, young, immature pinon pine cone that can take a great down fall of the 2011 Fall harvest of pignoli nuts. In the previous scenario you can have just the right amount of precipitation and still have a poor harvest or no harvest at all.

As a side note we are pleased to announce that you can reach us on the web by simply typing “pignolinuts.com” into the address bar. Please check back soon for more updates as we continue to monitor the 2011 pignoli harvest still in development. To Top

How to Harvest Pinyon Pine Cones for Pinyon Pine Nuts

The photo above depicts a fully mature pinyon pine tree with pine cones open and ready to harvest. We chose this full tree view to let those who have not ever harvested pinyon pine nuts see that the amount of time and labor to harvest the majority of the cones (or seeds) from this tree is quite a bit of work. Some branches are much more difficult to reach as other cones are feasibly and unreasonably not worth trying to gather, both for the sack of time and profit, along with energy and to a large part, patience. These cones eventually will dry up enough as to loosen there firm hold of the inside seed and easily allow wind or any slight movement to cause the seed to fall to the ground. Many, if not most individuals picking for pleasure or traditionally will gather the seed that has fallen to the ground. To Top

Snow Packs Continued and their Necessity

In our previous article above on snow packs we discussed the importance of snow packs in attaining a bumper year in our await for a pignoli and pine nut harvest along with what Italians refer to as "pinoli", which is our American term for pine nut. These snow packs allow for a consistent stream of nourishment and water to feed and nourish the Pinyon pine trees near the end of winter and in the Spring all the way to through the Summer. As the Snow accumulates its weight hardens allowing a stronger molecular grip that holds the packs and preserves them for a longer period of time, similar to ice or a glacier. The pignoli and pinoli, or pine nut receives the watering as the ice packs slowly melts. In the most common case the shade the Pinyon pine tree produces will allow for a cooler environment so that snow packs benefiting the pine nuts and tree remain longer and more effectively last through the warmer seasons. This long preserving duration of the snow packs also allows for the potential addition of more snow or ice from frozen water to accumulate onto the already long lasting snow packs. Therefore the pine nuts are nourished and water even longer than originally anticipated or thought of. It is common belief that snow packs are of the most vital and essential environmental assets that a producing Pinyon pine tree has for the perseverance and mature growth of its fruit, the pine nut, pinoli, and or the pignoli.

As much is speculated there is a wide growth in scientific and ecological research that can back up these and some of the most commonly believed and thought of concepts of pinoli and pine nut seed production. We plan on looking more into these essential environmental aspects in the near future postings that we write about. In such a way we can all share and expound on how nature cares for itself and mans treasures. We treasure and value the forests as a priority and in our harvest of pine nuts, seek out the best interest for the growth and production of the forest as its is not only a part of our family business, but it has become engraven within our very own human nature and has been a second home to us.

Conditions of the Forest in the West and Southwest: Hopeful Bumper Crop Harvest for 2011

As the environment continues to be favorable in the west and southwest for the Pinyon pine forest and pinon pine forest, we hope that this proceed until mid-summer of 2011, that the forest may bring forth mature and healthy Pinyon pine cone or pinon pine cone, that we may have a fruitful harvest of healthy American pignoli nut. We hope and anticipate their to be a much better bumper crop than the previous year of 2010. By this means we can offer our pignoli nuts and American pinoli nuts at a much more favorable and lower cost in comparison to other pine nut prices.

Be optimistic with us and say your prayers that the good Lord will bless our forest in the US with all its means necessary that we may not have to rely on foreign imports of pignoli nuts in our food supply. There are millions of us here in America that love these very unique and distinguished small nuts called pignoli nuts, with hundreds if not thousands of ways to consume them. It’s amazing how we all individually have our very unique way of consuming pignoli and American pinoli nuts. With hundreds of different ways to roast them, hundreds of ways to eat them raw, hundreds of ways of eating them with different ingredients and hundreds of claims in the world of health benefits for the human race; not to exclude nature herself. This by all means is of the most difficult nut to grow and of the most difficult to harvest in the world. But in the same time, of all of us that know this nut, we treasure it above all nuts, making it, to us, king of nuts.

Despite having great precipitation and snow packs, whether you knew this or not, the conditions of the forest, in regards to the freezing conditions and low temperatures, place a most profound part in the all natural environment to bring forth a bumper harvest. By no means can you have a good bumper harvest without a cold, freezing, long autumn and winter. This is most essential, for a tree and its fruit remains in a dormant and undeveloped condition for a long period of time in the fall and winter season before awakening. To some of you this may seem rare, but it is recorded that mild and warmer autumns and winters disrupt the Pinyon pine trees and pinon pine trees from there unique dormancy, that in Spring, they would otherwise commence a rapid growth and pollination with more vigor and strength. All things must be done in their season thereof, with their unique temperatures and with the complete environment in their favor that composes and completes a healthy long 18 month cycle of maturity of the unique fruit we call pignoli nuts and pine nuts.

We intend to gather the biggest and largest Pinyon pine nut and pinon nut encyclopedia, on our website, with information, videos and photos in the next decade. To Top

The Greatness and Significance of Pine Nut oil!

There has always been much confusion, speculation and concerns regarding the consumption of pine nuts or pignoli due to there high fat content. The sweet rich flavor of a healthy fresh or aged pine nut no doubt comes from its fat. If you were to press or squeeze or even bite a fresh pine nuts or pignoli you can savor, along with feel, the juice in the seed, which consist mostly of oil. Fat and oil go hand in hand, for oil consists literally of Fat! In this case we are referring to Essential Fatty Acids.

Every cell in the body works and functions of off Essential Fatty Acids. These are the same oils or fats that pine nuts consist of in a highly concentrated proportions. Depending on the specific variety of pine nut, pignoli, or pinon you will see a varying ratio of fat content included in this type of nut. For example, the Siberian Pine Nut and New Mexico Pinon contain some of the highest amounts of fats per mass. Pine nuts are known around the world as being extremely healthy in so many different ways. This is one of the greatest and significant reasons why pine nut oil is used worldwide; as a health benefactor.

Many people use pine nut and pignoli oil as a healthy and natural metabolism enhancer. Pine Nut oil helps optimize the cells to balance high metabolism and increase slow metabolism. It is interesting to note that many people think that the high fat content of pine nuts will cause them to gain weight and fat, however, just the opposite is the case. The word “fat” in general appears to be misleading and very misunderstood to the common public. There are “good” fats and there are “bad” fats. As a matter of fact, the cell membrane, the cells protective layer, is made up of lipids that live and survive off of oils or fats that allow them to function.

As time goes on we will continue to bring more information to you about pine nuts and there significance to health in the medical and natural community. We will also look more at the facts and criteria that makes pine nut oil such a miraculous treat to the human body. To Top

Forecast Continuation for Fall 2011 Pine Nuts and Pinon

Its been a while since we last posted any information on the potential of our upcoming 2011 pine nut and pinon harvest. We have been using our experience and also modern science to establish more accurate forecasts. The pine nuts and pinon found in our American heritage valleys both in the South and Central-Western states vary production from season to season based not exactly on possibly predictable cycles appearing normal in nature, but what we like to say, on randomness, similar to what is said of pinoli and pignoli, although on a much smaller level. We say smaller level because other countries producing pine nuts or pignoli produce an enormous amount more than we do here in the USA, particularly because we have very limited forest lands, but also due to a shortage of labors, high operation costs, and our regulatory land and forest laws, for the good of everyone, nature included.

Its is said that no one can really accurately predict the weather, no human or publicly known computer system; think how accurate is your local news the majority of the time. During the many years in which we have scouted out pine nuts and pinon there have been a plethora of occasions wherein we felt or thought we understood the signs of a very prosperous and plentiful forthcoming year for pine nuts and pinon, only to shortly see the works of nature take form into a drought, freeze, burning, wind or storm that wipes the well expected bumper crop into scarcity or mild quantities. This is why we agree with the prior statement, for with over 50 years of family experience with pinion and pinyon we can say that farming is not much different from harvesting with Mother Nature. Of course, we should not disregard all the new scientific engineering that has been going on for sometime. However, since we are speaking of a natural and quite considerable organic product, we will stick with our same statement on successfully predicting a harvest of pine nuts and pignoli (pinoli). For we truly see that nature can make pine nuts and pinon and also break them. You know, the usual “make it, break it” thesis, although, who would really want to prove something by breaking what they just created, especially if it took a while to create. Either way, we find “randomness” to be a fair word to use at this moment when regarding pine nuts, pignoli, pinion and pinoli.

Throughout the first three months of this fascinating year of 2011 we here in the USA have heard of quite a number of storms seeming quite unusual for the time of year, occurring in rather quite unusual locations, for example, the freezing and below freezing temperatures to hit in the southern states, as well as snow in the lower elevations in unusually strange (elevation and climate wise) places in New Mexico and Texas. These are places where it is normal for it not to even drop a dash of snow in the winter months. However, like we mentioned, the weather really is 100% unpredictable. The growing and maturing process, as well as the harvesting process of pine nuts and pinon nuts is the same concept as farming and harvesting something that depends on someone or something else other than the farmers labor and efforts to provide for it; its only obviously wouldn‘t you say. Let’s think out loud. If the farmer doesn’t have all the right equipment, seed, land etc., how can they expect a good crop. The common farmer now a days gets his or her seed from another source, and their water rights are restricted according to government regulations. Well, that seed won’t produce if it isn’t buried, and that plant won’t grow if it is not watered, and definitely that seed won’t be harvested if it is not picked one way or the other. Now, you can see that those pine nuts, pinion, pinon, pinyon, pignoli, pinoli or which ever word you prefer to call them and that harvest cannot be plentiful if the conditions of nature are not to its benefit. If it does not rain, the cone could be stunted or remain premature, containing unripened seed or seed that will dry out before its time (hollowed seed). If it freezes, the frozen cone could perish over night, possibly even if the cone was already ripened enough for harvest. Excessive heat exposure could damage a green cone or dry up an already opened fresh cone. Let’s not forget the wind can carry and scatter away seed and dry opened cone ready for picking. If a cone is wide open, birds or other animals can take much of the trees seed, leaving few or none for you once you get to the top of the tree. Likewise, in both scenarios Mother Nature can determine the harvest (this is only regarding the standard traditional farming method of farming outdoors on land where the soil is the actual land itself) fate at its discretion. The start of this year has showed a strange turn of weather patterns, but nothing that has not happened before. It is truly in time, if ever one can even say “enough time” gone by, that we will see what is to happen in regards to a current years harvest of pinon and pine nuts. Let us not forget that pignoli, pinoli, pinyon and pinion throughout the world cannot disregard Mother Natures affect as well. No matter where the tree or forest is, anything dependable on nature will experience the effects and consequences of those effects. It is rather interesting to note that all pine nut tree varieties have been shown to grow only at certain altitudes and elevations, depending on the species of pine tree, likewise, have they been shown to only produce cones and seeds at specific elevations, or so it appears to be the case when referring to the fertility of the tree (in other words, we are not saying that not every tree produces seed, we are simply saying that at certain elevations the trees produce cones far more abundantly and noticeably than at other elevations, meaning that much more cones are found at just the right elevation).

It is probably possible to look back at the typical harvesting locations within Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Southern Oregon and California and see the weather forecast for the past 20 years and relate that to harvesting trends to make a predictive assumption of the upcoming harvest of pinion and pinyon. However, we can say that doing so will, without much further thought, lead to a rather wasteful bunch of study and research. Being in this business as long as we have, we can say that most undoubtedly! If we are wrong, we would be more than happy to hear anyone’s correction, for who as much as ourselves would love to know when the next big bumper crop was going to arrive and when to start and end harvest of pine nuts and pinon. This would save us much in expenses, time, and headaches. We are not writing this to criticize other statistics, individual, or company’s, we are just reasoning things out, in the meantime adding information for your education and if you’d like to say, entertainment alike.

On a more positive and informative note, snow packs have continued to increase in the Sierra Mountains and valleys with precipitation looking promising for the upcoming months. Pine nuts and pinon lovers alike, with those of the pinoli and pignoli, can hope for a fruitful harvest this Autumn season of 2011 if condition remain steady and progress with a wet ending summer. Lets hope that heat does not overpower the pine nuts and pinyon in the Northwestern central States and that winds and heat do not raise for the pinon and pinion territories in the Southwest. If excessive heat ends up prolonging itself the snow packs will not last enough to allow the maturing cones and seed to endure the hot conditions (unless further precipitation occurs). Since we are focusing on our harvesting efforts (such as scouting) here in America we will not be providing any forecast for any other countries, like those popular for there pignoli and pinoli. However, I am sure other sources may have information regarding the potential forecast for the Fall season of 2011 in there countries. Perhaps not. Our duty is first to the American people. Besides we are American pine nut and pinon producers, and proud of it. So until next time, when conditions for pine nuts and pinon deem necessary, will we keep you posted with another 2011 harvest forecast. To Top

Comments from around the U.S.A.

Throughout the many years our family has harvested pine nuts in the Sierra Mountain ranges and its neighboring foothills we have met and become acquainted with many people along the way whom have commented us on our outstanding product. Some of these individual or family’s we met in person, others over the phone and many others via email communication. In the following pages we will mention a few of these people and other examples of comments we have received within the United States and some abroad, especially in Canada and a few in Mexico. These comments are placed side by side and are not in any specific order and are all regarding our In Shell and or No Shell Pine Nuts and or as others call them, pinon, pignoli, pinoli and pignolia.

We first begin this by mentioning one of our favorite quotes from San Francisco, California, this gentleman has a small store in which he retails our In Shell Nevada Soft Shell Pine Nuts, a large portion of his customers are from the Asian culture, mostly Chinese, we call him Jim, he says “You offer an amazing price, large sized pine nuts and the best Nevada Soft Shell available on the market! We have not known anyone else who offers such high quality and a reasonable price all at the same time. Your on our list of resources we trust and use the most. Not to mention your product is still very fresh after the New Years Holiday, when our others sources pine nuts are bad by December. WholeSale Pine Nuts, you are number One!”

Francine from Sacramento, California told us “Let me know when you have them available, I’ll be the first to place my order in! You can count on that”. Seth in Los Angeles county, CA informed us that “While visiting my home town in Ely, Nevada this last week, I found out that the Great Basin looks quite promising to produce a satisfying harvest for the locals and perhaps you guys might want to take a look around there.” Phillip in the west of San Diego county, CA asked us to “Please save me a few pounds in the next harvest, this year we didn’t have means to buy any, since we didn’t find your company online until you were sold out and we didn’t have any around here in my part of the country. We’re all saved up and will be of the first to respond to your updates in the Autumn.” Shosie near the far east corner of Yuba City, CA said “There has been few sources that I’ve trusted with quality, in particular, those whom I call friends and relatives who harvest and give me the best they can find in their gatherings. Your quality is equal if not at times, superior, not to mention clean and long lasting.” In Redding, CA we find that a lovely family of five “Can’t live without pine nuts! We love those that you offer and buy bulk to receive a discount that is far worth it to our older children whom seem to be more outgoing and hardworking with a handful of their favorite snack. That takes away all their other habits of spending money on junk food!” Near the southeast end of Riverside, CA is a little store whose family owned shop says “We sale more of this produce in the beginning of the season than all our other produce combined! Thanks for your affordable price!” Bakersfield, CA is home to a wide variety of riches when it comes to living with the things produced off of the land we should mention that this small yet prosperous place “Looks forward to a good year where this popular commodity is readily available in stores!”

Salem, Oregon has a unique history that is looked at sometimes quite minute in compared to that found in Massachusetts, however one customer by the name of Jacque states “Pine nuts have always been a part of our family history from as far back in history as we can trace. I admire your hard work in bringing this quality product to my front door!”. Portland, OR finds its roots where Anthony states “We use to trade this variety of nut at the local flee market back fifty or so years ago. Boy, were they popular back than. They were treasured like gold, but really cheap back than.” Eugene, OR had been a place like others where trade was common back a century ago, wherein one of our customers Luis W. said his father “…was thrilled the first time he made an exchange for one Raccoon fur skin for ten pounds of pinon nuts.” Back a few years ago in Medford, Orgeon, Yully D. commented how “They have always been a part of my life and my family continues the tradition of harvesting them in the Northern parts of Nevada every season there out”.

There are many states in the USA that we get orders out of, and out of all of them Washington state is one of the most demanding for pignoli and pignolia nuts. In Seattle, WA Cristine writes “My oh my, your pignoli shelled are the best I have ever tasted! Two thumbs up! My chefs in my kitchen say they can't bake any more, they sell out too fast!” Tacoma, Washington has such a broad diversity of in season produce and as Scott says “Your produce and those available around these parts are of the most demanded, in comparison to the percentage of fans. I mean, they just can’t keep the shelf’s stocked long enough!” Friends and pinon lovers alike in Bellingham, WA agree “As long as there in stock, we trust that your quality will meet anyone’s expectations, no matter the time of year, unlike other suppliers whose quality fade early in the season.”

Throughout the last quarter century as our family has harvested we noticed that families are one of the biggest reasons why individuals harvest, you see, it's more like a tradition. Many of them harvest just for the fun of it, while a small percentage harvest just to have the product themselves. Janice from Rexburg, Idaho informed us that “My family has harvest pine nuts for three generations already, and that’s just because we are from the East coast and weren’t raised here in the Northwest.” From Twin Falls, ID Matt E. called us to tell us that “Our family is not the only one in this city that has picked there own nuts, we have neighbor after neighbor that has harvested for family fun for years.” Steven J. from Boise county, ID let us know that “We drive almost two hundred miles one way, just to gather pine nuts over the weekend when there in season.” “It seems like everyone in Idaho Falls, ID knows about this commodity” wrote Peter S., who just recently moved to Idaho and is now becoming well acquainted with these pinyon nuts. From Pocatello, ID Justine submitted her comment on how much her family and friends crave this snack in and out of season, “We’ve been having withdrawal symptoms since we finished our last batch in April and now its already August, I’m so excited for this upcoming harvest.”

Its been a while since Judy T. was in Elko, Nevada, but she still remembers when she and her little brother would go with her parents when school let out, “We went to a nearby state park for a few days every season where we gathered pinyon until is was near dark. Those nights we roasted pine nuts and watched a family movie.” Kyle from Winnemucca, NV couldn’t wait for the first weekend after the first freeze, “My entire family, all seven of us, along with tons of relatives would drive south to the mountain ranges some eighty miles or so to pick on tribal property where we camped out for the weekend!” Cindy from Battle Mountain, NV teasingly remarked “Oh my, when I saw that pine nut sales person on the street, I could of kissed him, I was so happy, I hadn‘t seen them around in years!” “They were incredible! The quality, taste and cleanness.”, wrote Joe in Reno, NV.

There are also others who prefer not to harvest because of a lack of time, like Hillary from Carson City, NV. Others like Jillian W. East of Clark county in Las Vegas, Nevada say “It is cheaper to buy online than at the stores, as well as rather than going and picking them ourselves.” Katie in Mesquite, NV agrees likewise mentioning that “Fuel prices have gone up through the roof, its cheaper to buy bulk; I mean, we eat a lot anyways!”

Brigham City, Utah is home of some of the most prominent Utahans in the state and they are well familiar with pine nuts and there importance to the cultures around them. Salt Lake City county, UT contains one of the largest markets for this great tasting In Shell product. We receive many orders and comments from Provo, UT and Cedar City, UT, one we like a lot is form Sheryl H. “I love it, no matter where I’m at in my country I can count on you to deliver fast and reliable, straight to my door.” Andy from St. George, UT told us he personally favors getting his “Unshelled pine nuts from WholeSale Pine Nuts.com!” Steven, central in Spanish Fork, Utah wants everyone to know “Don’t waste your time with other online sites. These guys have the best in everything, price and quality and not to mention free shipping!” We have received a number of letters from very satisfied customers from Kanab, UT and San Juan county in Blanding, Utah who agree that “There’s no place like home, and these people sure know how to treat ya just like your there. Their roasted product is outstanding, just like home baked and perfect for any enjoyable family gathering or occasion. It beats popcorn at the movies”.

Have you ever been through Flagstaff, Arizona? Ever wonder about the heritage as you drove by the antique shops and down town streets? I’m certain you've tried a bit of their food as well. But have to tried there pinon nuts? Well, I’m sure you’ve seen them sold throughout the streets in their season. I think everyone has. “Tucson, AZ is practically the same.”, says Anthony Q., who has been a resident for over two decades, “You can’t turn around the main street corner in November without seeing a sign. I personally anticipate the first sign at the beginning of the season.” Tiffany from Phoenix, AZ stated, “I grew up being told the fastest and best way to get my pinon was by driving down old main street in town, but that was when I lived in Tuba City, AZ. Here in Phoenix, you can find them at almost any local grocery store.” Yuma, AZ has the reputation of offering pine nuts long past the season. This is thought to be due to the Native heritage it contains. Without a doubt, many agree. Prescott, AZ is similar wherein heritage runs through the veins and culture of the locals. Of course, a large majority of Arizonan’s know that heritage is an important aspect in their daily life.

There's a big thing about Texas and its not just its size. Cuisine is more of a celebration, due to the large diversity, especially in and at family run kitchens. Pignoli and pinon are no different to many of these families than salt and pepper. Jill from Potter-Randall county in Amarillo, Texas called us and told us “My little Asian cuisine kitchen brings in twenty-five percent of customers who demand pignoli in there meal and this is with prices being quite high.” Midland, TX, with its wealth and fancy dishes insists that not a day should go by without them having there specialty foods, pinoli being a large part of that. Gabby in Dallas county, TX, who operates a family Mexican restaurants says that “Nothing beats a well steamed tamale with pinon.” Around Wichita Falls, TX is a chain of small drive-thru Mexican restaurants that “Sells more tamales with pinon, than the traditional tamales with chicken or carne de res.” Benito from El Paso county, TX wants you to know “Visit Carino’s and try there Chicken Picatta with Pesto, you won’t go wrong!” Travis county in Austin, TX is another place where Pesto sauce is renown for its amazing addition to flavor in most any dish. Renee from San Antonio, TX added to our comments by saying that “Pignoli is just as important to my dishes as the menu is in offering the dish to my customers.” Hyrum Z. who is a resident of Harris county in Houston, TX just a thought to mention “Italian dishes are amazing! Now toss pinon into that dish and you have a masterpiece.”

There are many states in the U.S. who may appear not to be quite familiar with this particular variety of nut, however, it is proven otherwise, and in large part because cuisine and culture has spread so widely throughout the country. Baton Rouge, Louisiana happens to be one of those cities that many would least expect to find someone who knows much about pine nuts or pinon, however a resident of the town by the name of Evan Y. commented “I’ve lived hear for a fifteen years and don’t know too many people that haven’t tried and loved those things. Ordering them online is so convenient now that I’d think myself crazy not to do so.” Adam of Jefferson and Orleans Parish county in New Orleans, LA sent in an emails saying “My family’s hooked on pine nuts, my relatives are hooked, my friends are hooked, shucks even all my neighbors are hooked!” Stephany from New Orleans, Louisiana said “If I ain’t got my pignoli for my salad, I ain’t making no salad!”

Queen Z., who lives in Pulaski county in Little Rock, Arkansas feels the need to “Jump for joy when I first hear that there in the stores! Now I order online because Its cheaper with better quality. We don’t get much pine nuts in these parts!” Illeana from Fayetteville, AR yelled across the street when she heard that they were serving pine nuts in the dishes at a nearby restaurant “We’re eating out tonight girls!” El Dorado, Arkansas may not be so widely known, but what we know for sure is that local Jonie R. says “This town may of not been named after gold, but if it had pine nuts as a natural resource, the name would stick Real good!”

Even in the bountiful lands where water flows afar and plentiful year round, we still get comments like this one from Hinds and Rankin county Jackson, Mississippi “If only we had pine trees like those in New Mexico, than I could fully say that our water can grow the best tasting nut product I’ve ever tried, and trust me, I‘ve tried them All!” George N. from Tupela, MS felt the same when she tried this rich flavored variety of nut from New Mexico called pinon when she exclaimed “You don’t say! This is the best tasting thing I’ve ever tried, can you buy these things shelled?” Over in Greenville, MS Francis P. wrote stating that “Out of all the variety of nuts I’ve tried, when it comes to price, size, taste, and ease of eating raw and fresh, the pine nuts in Nevada prove the best, leaving a flavors in my taste buds long after I‘ve swallowed them.”

During different times in different seasons we have seen how this worldwide commodity has been growing in popularity throughout the globe. As the market begins to grow in demand for diverse products, we see that pinon are being offered a bit more away than they were when they were offered just locally. Birmingham, Alabama is one of those places, we believe, that has seen some recent rapid growth and inclination in sales for the pinoli used in Italian Cuisine. William from Montgomery, AL called us to notify us on this change when visiting Birmingham this last March. Dothan, AL formally was different on this notion, however Ulises E. tells us otherwise. Yolanda from Mobile, Alabama taught her kids that pine nuts were healthy for them and that the only reason why they couldn’t eat so much was because they were pricy last year due to scarcity.

The average Floridian appears to have a great taste when it comes to leisure and quality of life style. It is understood that many of them have traveled the world and that of those many a large percentage fancy the rich foods from around the world. The pignoli is used in cuisine from almost every prominent country, which, to say the least, whose average dish is quite pricy, and not just for its flavor, but for its difficulty to harvest. From Pensacola, Florida Andrew P. posted that our prices were “The lowest anywhere he had seen throughout the season. By the time I had found you guys I would of save about $130, had I known about you guys sooner.” Walter in south Hillsborough county of Tampa, FL wrote to tell us, “I can’t believe you’d sell this stuff so cheap, when your competitors have it for fifty to one hundred percent the price.” Brenda C. by Fort Lauderdale, FL happily remarked “This is the only way I’ll ever buy my pinoli!”, when commenting about our website. Emma in Leon county of Tallahassee, Florida couldn’t believe the fact that we still offered fresh product after the New Years holiday, all it took was a small order and she was convinced for life. No one else offers a guarantee like us. Low by the coast in Volusia county of Daytona Beach, FL Estrella O., commented that our company was “One whose self esteem and reputation keeps its customers going back for more. No matter the situation, you are extremely courteous and considerate towards all your customers.” Avery west in Panama City questioned whether or not our product was the best she’d every purchased or “Whether they are the best that ever existed!” Neil E., who lives in Miami, Florida says that ever since his retirement he had always “Kept a stash of pine nuts in storage, now I buy them bulk and cheaper and have plenty, even if the previous year is more scarce.” Stewart B. whose resides in Jacksonville, FL said “I have never tasted pinon so bursting with flavor, as I have in every single order I’ve made.”

Bill from Chatham county in Savannah, Georgia was jubilated when she won her free pound of pine nuts last years in our mailing list giveaway, she told us, “I never thought I could get so happy with a free pound of pine nuts!” From Cobb and Fulton county in Atlanta, GA Allen U. called us to tell us how he had received his free pinon and that he was so excited to tell his family, and than realized that they would want some as well so went ahead and ordered an additional eight pounds. ”Demi R., a local in west Rome, Georgia left this in a voicemail for our customer service department, “ I just ordered twelve pounds after I ate up all my free pine nuts in just one evening. Keep bringing this great product to the market and I’ll always be back for another round.”

Our company has received much notice for our clean products, whose quality is second to none. Gill, living in Charleston, South Carolina told one of our customer representatives that “Its impossible to have such a clean product without any additives or excessive moisture exposure!” We replied, “That’s what our competitors think, or what they want you to think!” Dean from York county in Rock Hill, SC exclaimed “My mind is boggled at the cleanliness of your pinon. I haven ‘t quite seen anything to match it!” Virginia from Anderson, South Carolina smiled when we told her “It’s a secret! But its proven!”

In Wake county in Raleigh, North Carolina, Amy S. concurred with the fact that our quality was tough to beat, saying “Good luck to your competition!” Tanner from New Hanover county in Wilmington, NC tossed in a pointer regarding our recipe for cooking our products “Keep it the same and everyone will stay hooked!” Brian, living in Hickory, NC asked us to “Keep them coming, don’t stop harvesting, we need more!” Gregory east in Greensboro, NC wished we, “Didn’t have such cheap prices! Than when my customers ask me where I got them from, I wouldn’t be so hesitant to tell them! Well, I guess I still make my share!” Nelly, living south in Mecklenburg county in Charlotte, North Carolina said, “I’ve been a customer for three years now and will be a customer for three more years and three more after that, as long as your quality never diminishes!”

High in the mountain tops in other states can be found many other species of pine trees. However they do not produce big or thick enough seeds that are edible or worthwhile in harvesting; this doesn’t even include the height of the tree, some being from 45 to 85 feet up, that’s fifteen to fifty feet taller than the Nevada pinyon pine. Albert from Nashville-Davidson county of Nashville, Tennessee says “Golly, if we had pine nuts like those in Nevada I’d climb a hundred footer to pick them cones, but the ones over here are smaller than sunflower seeds!” Xucolo, of Knox county in Knoxville, TN wrote “Our trees are beautiful, but the thought of harvesting something so high and narrow, huh, I would pay almost any price, to not do that!” East in Shelby county in Memphis, TN Susan writes “There’s no place like home. I love Nevada for its mountain ranges and plentiful forest and I love Tennessee for the same reason. I just miss my pine nuts!” Young W. from Montgomery county of Clarksville, TN commented how “The forests are incredible, I love that thought that your company can harvest naturally and bring such an outstanding product to the market. Especially here in my home town!” Darrol west of Madison county in Jackson, TN left his posting stating “The Pinyon Pine is an amazing productive species of trees, no wonder Nevada treasures and acknowledges it by making it apart of their state pride!” Sherry from Kingsport, TN left her voicemail in a jolly manner “I don’t know what I’d do without you guys. My little store receives customers all the time commenting about the new pignolia we have in stock. The first and only American shelled pignoli! I just can’t believe it hasn’t been done before! Everyone loves them!”

Cinthia E. in Lexington-Fayette county in Lexington, Kentucky once told a staff member “Why aren’t there pine nuts in our trees?” Our staff replied “Beats me, you probably haven’t checked close enough!” Cinthia replied, “Well those trees are so far way up there and the cones are huge though! The seeds inside just look like a skeleton of old seed.” It was told to her that the different variety was not edible for us humans, but that the seed was there and in ripe season was sufficient to be planted and grow a tree in proper conditions. Ace from Louisville Jefferson county in Louisville, Kentucky informed us that “Our trees here in this part of the country must have a different purpose, than those in Utah and the other states!” Jeffery of Warren county in Bowling Green, KY told us that he wanted to “Go and try harvesting pinon or pinyon and see if it was really as tough as others picture it out to be!” We immediately made him an offer he couldn’t resist. That summer he tried it out for three days during a trip with his relatives from Utah and said “I’ll be back next year! The harvest was too short to get much, but the experience was one to share with all those back in Kentucky who think pine nuts prices are too high!” He laughed on and off while he told us his story!

Even in the more drier states we still get comments about prices being fair. For example, Randy in Oklahoma City, OK states “Heck, I’ve gathered theses things before and I’ll tell ya, with the fact that I love them, I’d pay your low prices and even the higher prices for them, so that I don’t have to go through the whole mess!” Freddy in Tulsa, OK posted online that “We are so thankful that the Nevada Soft Shell has maintained such low price, when every other popular food and commodity has skyrocketed! Just a tank of gas for my sister in Utah to go pick cost her at least a hundred dollars and she still had to harvest! Not to mention the scarcity last year!” Jack D. from Guymon, Oklahoma told us he would “Never try harvesting my own pinon again, unless there was no where else to get them! I picked only three pounds of good ones in eight hours. We ran into a bunch of hollow ones!”

Not every year do we have a sufficient harvest to make worthwhile our efforts. Elfred from Dona Ana county in Las Cruces, New Mexico told us one year that, “I was stunned when I saw you guys had pinon! We didn’t see any on the trees in all the favorite places we normally go to! It had been four years since we had a family harvest here in New Mexico.” Valerie H., who lives in Santa Fe county, NM told us recently that she was willing to “Pay $20 dollars a pound for the piñon, if she could find that anywhere. Some days I’d even pay $25.” Simon from Deming, NM commented that he “Never cared what the price was! I knew anyone selling them deserved whatever they asked for! I for one won’t complain! You ever try harvesting them things!” Forest E. in Silver City, NM told his elderly mother “It doesn’t matter how much I paid for them! Enjoy them! Its over a two hundred mile drive to pick them myself. Trust me its worth paying the bucks! Especially for you Ma’!” Elsie from Otero county in Alamogordo, NM asked us if we would consider giving her a discount if she bought ten pounds of pinon. When we told her that we’d take off two dollars a pound she immediately said, “I’ll take twenty pounds than!” Lolo in Carlsbad, New Mexico said “Pinon are a part of my winter, if I can’t find them fresh, I’ll take the ones from last year! If I can’t find those, than I’ll take the ones from two seasons back! But I got to have them!” McKinley county of Gallup, NM has appeared to be one of those smaller cities that always has pinon, no matter how old they are, they always sale! Owen Z. from Ruidoso, NM says “When they didn’t have any pinon over here, I had my relatives throughout the state seek them out for me! So my mother in Gallup sent me some the very next Monday, just in time for our community campout!”

Back in central eastern St Louis, Missouri, Keisha W. writes regarding scarcity in the recent years, “If my family doesn’t get there supply for the year, we don’t know what were going to do!” Gary from Springfield, MO pleaded “We don’t care the price, just provide us pinon this year! It doesn’t matter if there from two seasons ago!” Brandon in Tuscola and Van Buren county in Columbia, Missouri called us to tell us “We, the people, who grew up with pine nuts, need them, but just don’t get to greedy. We know you won’t but others have!”

Quinton S. who lives around east Hamilton and Marion county in Indianapolis, Indiana noted that, “Your prices are so cheap, I don’t know how you even break even!” Benjamin I. from Monroe county in Bloomington, IN says “Whose ever picked before? I know if you had you’d pay almost double the price! Myself, I’d easily pay double in a scarce year like this one!” Barbara from Fort Wayne, IN commented “Your prices don't compare, neither does your quality, I still don’t get why others buy elsewhere, especially with your reputation for customer care and customer satisfaction at such a high priority to your family business.” Eldon L., originally from Provo, UT, whose lived in Tippecanoe county in Lafayette, Indiana for over twelve years called in to say, “When I was a kid pine nuts were practically free, but with all the high prices and inflation what can we expect from any person or company trying to make an honest living! I don’t know how you can afford such low prices. But I’m taking this opportunity and will continue to do so. Thanks WholeSale Pine Nuts!” Allie from Terre Haute, MO said, “There’s been a small harvest these last few years, but why have prices stayed the same. Good for me, but I don’t know how your company does it! My retail outlets sales them for thirty percent up costs and people still buy them like crazy!” Camery E. from Gary, Indiana told us she didn’t mind “Paying the shipping! I don’t see how you can offer it for free and still make revenue!”

Harvard from Springfield, Illinois stated mentioned, “We are happier than you could imagine after receiving your product! It took only three days with free shipping! They taste Great!” Brianna in Peoria, IL noted that “Your service was so fast and costs us nothing that we’ll be ordering again from you soon!” Ephraim H. west of Quincy, IL elaborated about our customer service “In all my years of ordering online I’d never had a more pleasant talk with a customer service representative. They even through in an extra free pound, when my package didn’t show up because the post office lost the package! What kind of company takes that loss and still gives more to the customer! An ‘Excellent’ one for sure!” Doran W from Chicago, Illinois writes “Free shipping and the lowest price anywhere I’ve seen. Nothing beats that! Oh wait, than top that with their quality! Huh, now that’s an Incredible company!”

Fiona from Grand Rapids, Michigan helped us expand our pignoli sales a bit and told us she looked forward to a “Long business relationship with you!” Allerd from Detroit, MI received his order just in the nick-of-time for Thanksgiving and wrote that he would love another shipment in before Christmas! Franklin O. from Alpena, Michigan wanted our staff to know how much he “Appreciated their patience when I ordered the wrong product on accident and needed to return the shipment, which was paid for by your company!”

Every now and than we get one of those customers that has not had a pine nut or pinon or pignoli in over a decade. These stories are ones that fascinate all pine nut addicts and fans alike. Roger from Lucas and Wood county in Toledo, Ohio writes, “What in the world was I thinking! I can’t believe how it slipped my mind that these things are so darn good! Yesterday was the first day in over twenty years since I’d eaten a pine nut! I’m never going a season without them at all costs! Thanks!” Josephina in Cuyahoga and Pawnee county in Cleveland, OH questioned us regarding our American shelled pignoli, “Why is it that no one else has done this! I haven’t had a no shell pine nut taste this delicious in many years! It brings back memories when we would crack them as little kids and have contest to see who could shell them the fastest!” Olly from Columbus, Ohio commented “It's been almost seventeen years since I gathered these things with my family in Utah and that was the last time I had eaten one!

Summer Arriving: 2011 Forecast Update for Nevada Soft Shell Pine Nuts and New Mexico Hard Shell Piñon Nuts

In continuation of our Nevada Jumbo Soft Shell pine nuts and the New Mexico Hard Shell Pinon Nuts forecast updates we are pleased to inform all our visitors to our site that the Nevada Jumbo pine nuts perhaps has had the best amount of precipitation of the last eight months, surpassing all of our expectation in regards to the all natural environment to continue to develop its fruit to maturity. Likewise, the temperature has been very adequate in as much that the trees may thus have health and vigor to continue throughout the rest of the Spring and into the summer. With one more reasonable heavy thunder storm in the early summer throughout the mountain ranges of Nevada, California and Utah we can say that we will of had the perfect conditions of temperature and humidity to continue to nourish the trees and there fruit for a very prosperous production of pinyon pine nuts this Fall.

We are sadden to inform you that with New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and part of Utah, being in a different climate and precipitation below average and in a state of drought in many areas, we foresee and expect much of the fruit of the Southwestern Hard Shell pinon nuts to begin to be aborted or dry up and wither away in many locations. With this said, we anticipate a below average pinon nut harvest this season of 2011, if not, or perhaps, very few, if any at all. Lets not disregard the many plagues that tend to invade the forests and their fruit in early summer and heavily damage bumper crops, if not destroy them completely in many areas. This is due to the fact of not having adequate temperatures, precipitation and humidity in the winters, falls, springs and summers.

When it comes to forecasting, it is only an assessment based on knowledge of past history, current temperature condition, amount of precipitation and hoping for a good plentiful outcome. However, anything and everything can change in a minutes notice due to many factors in the unpredictable world we live in.

Our ancestors could predict with great accuracy, many things, by simply observing the sky in the evening, the moon cycles, the eclipses, the stars, the wind patterns, animal conduct and behaviors, low and high temperatures, storm conditions and most of all by using the perception deep within their souls or through spiritual manifestations. It is unfortunate that much of this has been lost to many people due to the many scientific advances that many people claim to be more precise and have chosen above other sources of insight rather than those that have proven themselves more accurate time after time.

We will post monthly updates informing you on news pertaining to the changes we observe concerning the West and Northwest. We will also eventually post locations where you can gather your very own personal Jumbo Soft Shell Pine Nuts, which will be very helpful to those of you who wish to harvest close to your homes at more convenient locations. As always, check back soon for more updates, until than, take care and keep safe!
