About Nuts, pine nuts, pinyon, dried
The Colorado pinyon (Pinus edulis), also spelled pinon, is a small, drought-tough pine of the American Southwest whose cones hold one of the region's great wild delicacies: pine nuts. Native peoples of the Southwest have harvested these pinon nuts for thousands of years, and the fall gathering remains a cherished tradition across New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. The plump, ivory kernels have a rich, buttery, faintly resinous flavor and a tender bite, delicious raw, toasted, or ground, and they star in pesto, salads, trail mixes, baked goods, and traditional New Mexican cooking.
Nutritionally they are energy-dense, supplying healthy monounsaturated fats, plant protein, magnesium, zinc, iron, and vitamin E. True Southwestern pinon nuts are prized, and priced, for a fuller flavor than most imported pine nuts. Because they are so high in oil, they turn rancid quickly at room temperature. Buy them in the shell or vacuum-sealed, give shelled nuts a quick toast to wake up the aroma, and keep them in the fridge or freezer so they stay fresh.
