Date: August 13, 2012 07:14PM Pine nuts in shell remind me of childhood, when my dad used to bring whole cones full of nuts. It was super exciting extracting nuts from the cone, and them from the shell. I imagined I was a squirrel 
I should have a look whether cones are available to buy these days. I forgotten about them, with pine nuts available already shelled! >Banana ice-cream rocks!< Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/13/2012 07:17PM by chat. Re: Organic in-shell pine nuts

Consumed occasionally & in minute quantities, I think nuts/seeds can have a useful place in the human diet. In nature, there are nuts/seeds we are able to crack open without the use of extraneous tools. rawne Re: Organic in-shell pine nuts

How is a pine tree not organic, exactly? They grow in the wild, I doubt anybody is putting chemicals on them. Not any more than are already in the air and water anyhow. Re: Organic in-shell pine nuts

Date: August 16, 2012 08:57PM pine nuts to me are cost prohibitive compared with other nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pistachios, greevbacks, brazil, macademia and cashew all cost less. And the walnuts, pistachios and almonds have excellent health profiles.
Mediterranean pine nuts as opposed to those grown in China are higher in protein but at $30+ per pound, keep em. Paul Re: Organic in-shell pine nuts

Date: August 17, 2012 11:27AM Um, Paul, "greevbacks"? Heh?
I saw a package of Mediterranean pine nuts at the local Meijer; they are processed by a Michigan company so I felt duty bound to consider them. Then I noticed the price sticker--holy cow! They're cheaper by the pound at the local Italian import store, so I can buy a couple of tablespoons at a time if I need them without breaking the bank. When I was doing gourmet raw, I very quickly learned that most recipes call for way more pine nuts than are necessary, and thus, can made more cost effective by substituting almonds for part of the pine nuts. coco, That site IS fascinating--I had no idea of the many varieties of pine nuts. More stuff they didn't teach us in cooking school! Re: Organic in-shell pine nuts

That one was there to make sure you were paying attention!  Sorry, when I said keep em, I meant don't buy em. The Mediterranean pine nuts are higher in protein, less greasy and longer more torpedo shaped than their China or Asian raised cousins and more expensive. We've had discussions on this on the Fuhrman board. Excellent protein source, tastes great, just not cost effective. Hemp hearts work much better. jmo.
