    Despite their name, pine nuts are not nuts at all. Pine nuts are actually seeds harvested from certain types of pine cones. If you're wary of high-fat foods, you might think you should shy away from pine nuts. However, pine nuts contain healthy fats that provide several health benefits.

Our Journey

WHEN IT ALL BEGAN

Day 1

Pine tree seeds grow from cones that release them when conditions are right. The seeds, carried by the wind, land on suitable soil and germinate. They absorb water, sprout roots, and send up shoots. With enough light, water, and nutrients, the seedlings grow into saplings, eventually maturing into pine trees, continuing the cycle.

FIRST LEAVES

Day 30

Pine tree seeds typically take about 20 to 30 days to germinate under optimal conditions. Once germination occurs, the seedling can develop its first stable roots and cotyledon leaves within a few weeks. Generally, it takes around 6 to 8 weeks for a pine seedling to establish its first true leaves and become more stable.

FIRST CONES

Day 3650

After establishing its first true leaves, a pine tree requires several years to mature and produce its first cones. The time frame can vary depending on the species and growing conditions, but generally, it takes about 7 to 10 years for a pine tree to start producing cones and seeds. Some species might take even longer, up to 20 years, to reach reproductive maturity.

FIRST NUTS

Day 4745

Once a pine tree reaches reproductive maturity, which typically takes about 7 to 10 years, it takes an additional time to develop cones with seeds. After pollination, it generally takes about 1.5 to 3 years for pine cones to mature and develop nuts (seeds) inside, depending on the species. So, from the point of first true leaves, it can take approximately 8.5 to 13 years in total for a pine tree to produce mature cones with seeds.

TOUCHING AMERICAN SOIL

Now

In Kazakhstan, pine nuts are collected from mature cones, shelled, and cleaned. They are then packed in vacuum-sealed bags to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage. These vacuum-packed pine nuts are transported via air or sea freight to the U.S., ensuring they reach consumers in optimal condition.

Best taste and texture I've found

These pine nuts are very expensive BUT, if you go to YouTube and see exactly how these are gathered and the process it takes to get these seeds out of the cones, not to mention the low yield of some cones, it kind of explains why these seeds are so expensive. If you want cheaper ones, get Chinese. When you get them, you’ll see why they’re cheaper. These pine nuts are very expensive BUT, if you go to YouTube and see exactly how...

Great pine nuts.

These pine nuts are the best in my opinion. They maybe not as large, but then again, they are from wild trees, not from farms. The flavor is perfect, they are great in salads and eating fresh. And because they are from Siberia, I think they are ecologically clean. These pine nuts are the best in my opinion. They maybe not as large, but then... These pine nuts are the best in my opinion.

Buttery and fresh and not from China.

These are the best tasting pine nuts, very buttery and you can tell they are fresh. I love that they are sourced in Siberia and not China. That is very important to me, organic or not, no thank you China. These are the best tasting pine nuts, very buttery and you can tell they are fresh....

Very high quality, great taste, no "metal mouth"

Purchased these primarily for making pesto to be frozen. Will also use them in other cooking. These also taste great right straight from the package! Was wary of cheaper pine nuts (primarily from China) that have often been linked to 'metal mouth' and distorted taste for a period of time. None of that from these.

Great product

I've tried over the years pine nuts from COSTCO and Trader Joe's. They all gave me a "pine mouth" - metallic taste after a few spoons of nuts. I did not get that "metallic taste" from this product after eating half of a bag over one week.In comparison to COSTCO and Trader Joe's pine nuts, these nuts have have a slight shade of sweetness.

Fresh delicious top quality very pleased!

We have made 24 pints of pesto so far this summer from 50 basil plants. Because of the volume of pine nuts we would need, I shopped carefully. Fresh, organic, vacuum sealed important to us. These arrived the next day and were exactly what we wanted. They are buttery in taste and crispy. We have made 24 pints of pesto so far this summer from 50 basil plants. Because...

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are pine nuts expensive?

Pine nuts are expensive due to the labor-intensive harvesting process and the time it takes for pine trees to mature and produce cones. It can take 15-25 years for a pine tree to start producing cones with harvestable seeds. Additionally, the yield of pine nuts per cone is relatively low, and the extraction process requires significant effort, all of which contribute to their high cost.

How are pine nuts harvested?

Pine nuts are harvested by collecting pine cones from certain species of pine trees. The cones are then dried to open up, allowing the seeds to be extracted. This process can be labor-intensive as it often involves hand-picking the cones, drying them in the sun, and then manually extracting the seeds. In some regions, mechanical methods are used to facilitate harvesting.

What is the difference between raw and toasted pine nuts?

Raw pine nuts have a delicate, buttery flavor and a soft texture. Toasting pine nuts enhances their flavor, giving them a nuttier and slightly sweeter taste, and adds a crunchy texture. Toasted pine nuts are often used to add extra depth and texture to dishes. To toast pine nuts, simply heat them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown.

How should I store pine nuts?

Pine nuts should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or refrigerator. They can also be stored in the freezer to extend their shelf life. Proper storage helps prevent the nuts from becoming rancid and preserves their flavor and nutritional value.

Do pine nuts have any allergens?

Pine nuts can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, particularly those with tree nut allergies. Symptoms of a pine nut allergy can include itching, swelling, digestive issues, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about potential allergies.
