OUTLOOK
There will be a small Great Basin pinon nut Harvest in 2008

This year there will be scant harvesting of Pinus Monophylla, Great Basin Soft Shelled Pinyon Pine Nuts. There was good snow pack, however spring rains were sparse to non-existent. There degree of soil moisture from the snows is an unknown factor in this year's production. We have secured 5,000 lbs in harvesting contracts. These will be more expensive than in years passed. ANY CLIENT FROM 2007 will receive a substantial discount on their first 2008 order.

The danger of cones dropping before the harvest, or insect blight is still high. We HIGHLY recommend ordering as soon as we send out the harvest pricing. We will most likely have no wholesale offerings of this species. We may also be limiting client orders to 25 lbs.

,New Mexico Pinon Nuts 2006

There is good news on this front. Heavy pinon nut coning is reported from Taos through Colorado. The cones are extra large and a an outstanding harvested is expected. Additionally, there are a lot of male cones, which appear before female cones indicating there is likely to be a bumper harvest in 2008.

We forecast pricing to be in the range of $12.50 per pound of 2008 pinon nuts. (Gas and other expenses is forcing pricing upward). The first nuts of the season are always priced higher than those secured later in the harvest. We may hold off on shipping the hard shell Pinon Nuts until mid November in order to assure our clients the very best of pricing.

America's Wild Pinon Pine Nuts
Out of the 100 recognized species of true pines,about 28 species produce nuts of sufficient quality and desirable flavor to make them worth eating.here are three kinds of pinyon pine in these forests. The New Mexico Pinyon is one of the main sources of the edible pine nuts of the American southwest. The "nuts" are the seeds found between the scales of the cones. Pinyon pine nuts were a major food source for native American Indians in the area where the nut pine grows, in some cases providing most or all of the winter diet.

Pine nut development in North America is modest in comparison with that in Europe. The Italian pine tree, with superior timber, is larger and grows faster than the stunted pinon of the southwestern United States. Italian stone pine plantations are well established in Mediterranean Europe, via order of the pope in the mid 1600's.The American pinon has remained mostly neglected and uncultivated.

About European Pine nuts

The most common in Europe is the "pignolia" nuts of the Italian stone pine, grown for the most part in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and North Africa. In Italian stone pine harvests, the trees are shaken to remove the kernel. Once removed, they are dried further before being processed in a milling station to remove the kernel from its hard outer shell. The kernels and shells are separated by sifting; the testa, or thin skin which still covers the kernel, is then removed. Thereafter, the kernels are graded and sized.
Superior, unblemished, shelled kernels, both large and small, are reserved for the export market; the remaining kernels are sold locally or utilized in prepared foods. Although pignolia nuts may be eaten out of hand, raw or roasted, they have the distinction of being the only nuts used predominantly as ingredients for cooking. For many centuries in European cookery, they have been blended with meats, fish and poultry, and have been used in many different sauces.
