Date: January 14, 2009 06:10PM Are pine nuts raw? A friend of mine goes to France and harvests her own - this is not an option for me. lol. Re: pine nuts

Date: January 15, 2009 08:01AM Pine nuts to my knowledge are raw,along with hazlenuts and walnuts, the ones that aren't are cashews unless specially opened, and brazil nuts, as apparently they even reach a high heat in the shells when they treat them before selling them commercially Re: pine nuts

By cooked, do you mean roasted or something? Or do you mean blanched? I have only ever seen the light yellow colored pine nuts, and these are the only ones I've used commercially . . . do you mean that, like almonds, they may appear to be raw, but in fact be pasteurized? Re: pine nuts

Date: January 17, 2009 10:19PM I guess I mean the adjectives on the package are usually "raw" or nothing, or maybe "toasted," which you know isn't raw. I go to places I trust and buy the ones labeled "raw." If I purchased them from somewhere that I thought didn't understand what "raw" meant, then I would go elsewhere.
I hope that makes sense! Re: pine nuts

Date: January 18, 2009 07:42AM Consensus is that they are raw (unless the pack says toasted of course, and that can be in quite small print!).
As a pedant, I'll point out here that some feel 'pine nuts' should be referred to as seeds rather nuts, in that they are not encased by a hard shell. Re: pine nuts

Date: January 18, 2009 11:44PM I wonder if the pine cones are possibly heated to extract the pine nuts? My guess though is that raw pine nuts really are raw, from what other sites say. Re: pine nuts

Date: January 19, 2009 12:32AM Pine nuts (or seeds) can truly be raw. When I lived in South Korea, we used to pull them out of the pine cones and bite the seed off. They look a bit like maple seeds that have the translucent ends that allow them to fly. You can tell where the seed is b/c it is roundish there. This is the same with the pine seeds. Re: pine nuts

Date: February 01, 2009 07:16PM How should pine nuts be soaked and sprouted? In the shell or out? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
