Pine Nuts
Hi friends. Ok here is a little project I thought I'd share. Last year I picked a bag full of Single-Leaf Pinyon Pine cones (Pinus monophylla) and finally got around to taking out the seeds and rosting them. Here is how it went.

All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Sure miss the pinon country, picked many sticky pounds around here
if you perfect a collection and shelling method that doesn't get clogged with sap, The state of New Mexico might make you rich.
G. conduct research in the development of mechanical means for harvesting pinon nuts from wild trees that will not cause damage to the trees or their surroundings and mechanical means for shelling the pinon nuts; and

These are the pine nuts are difficult to find because New Mexican Pinon (Pinon) are not farmed and the indiginous trees produce this famous variety in large quantities only every few years. At one time there were ample trees so that the nuts were available every year. However, due to poor land management choices and enivoronmental crises, there has been no major harvest for many years. They are only harvested from the national forests and private lands of New Mexico where the pinon trees grow . In the early 1930 this country had bumper crops of pinon nuts. Up to 8,000,000 lbs were shipped to the East Coast where the pinon became known as the Indian Nut. Indian Nuts are the New Mexico Pinon Pine Nut
T.he Two-needle Pinon (Pinus edulis) is a pine in the pinon pine group, native to the United States. Although it ranges includes southern Colorado, eastern and central Utah, northern Arizona, the unhbridized tree that produces the most sought after pinon nut is primariliy found New Mexico. It occurs at moderate altitudes from 1600-2400 m, rarely as low as 1400 m and as high as 3000 m.
It is widespread and while abundant young trees are found in this region, mature seed producing trees are sparse and a prized resource for harvesters.
