    Pine nuts are an ancient WILD food harvested and eaten by humans around the world for eons. In this video we take a look at the growth, harvesting, and nutritional features of the mighty pine nut...

    Very, very well done! I live and work at the Grand Canyon National Park South Rim, and have so for 7 years. When I first started, my new, native American friend and co-worker (Navajo), taught me of pinon nut collecting. I asked him and wondered why, I saw so many people, almost all natives, on hand their hands and knees under trees as if, they were looking for something they, had 'lost', lol. It was then I was taught/shown, the pinion pine nut. I became addicted to "picking". It took 3 years for another harvest time to roll around, but it's here and I have easily picked over 5 pounds in the last few day's. I both oven roast and, black iron skillet cook, these wonderful, flavorful nut's. (Which I know, is actually, a seed.)
    Thank you SO much for putting out such a great video on a subject, which would be obscure to many.

    I’m pine nut crazy and put them on pretty much anything savoury. My 2 year old daughter loves them too and will often call out ‘more puh’ at dinner for more pine nuts. She’s not well tonight and pretty much only ate pine nuts for dinner. Thank goodness they’re cheap at Aldi. Thanks for the info!

    These are my favorite seed/nut. I toast them at 250° for 7 mins and season with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and pink Himalayan sea salt.

      pink Himalayan sea salt costs like 10 times more but has pretty much same nutritional value.

      @@SuperfoodEvolution it's expensive but I watched a video in China, which says that some people dead or injured because they climb tall pine trees to get the nuts. Now they have created the machines to harvest them. I'll go to look if any ripen nuts are falling or blowing by the wind, and maybe I can find and pick some before the squirrels eating them all.

    I love your work and appreciate your videos. I just wanted to say that it would be more factually accurate to say "geoengineering" or "man-made weather manipulation" because the climate has always changed and always will because it is a 100% natural phenomenon. However, geoengineering programs are causing and provoking unnatural and undesirable results. Contrary to the hype, the planet is NOT warming as they say it is. However, weather modification programs are hardly ever mentioned even though they've existed for decades and are currently in use to modify the weather. If you research stratospheric aerosol injection spraying programs (SSI), and geoengineering, you'll learn that certain species of plants and trees are adversely affected by the toxic chemicals and substances that fall on them following the spraying. Some have incendiary properties which contribute to the force of forest fires we regularly see nowadays. These same toxic substances are also found in water, like lakes, and make their way into the ground water. Next time you see a completely white sky, or a blue one with persistant streaks, remember to start your research because they are key elements in a multi-pronged agenda which does not bode well for humanity. geoengineeringwatch[dot]org

    I've never looked up facts on Pine Nuts until today. Just ate some that I bought last week from the grocery store. I only had them occasionally over the years when they were on top of hummus or other Mediterranean foods from restaurants. I never thought they actually came from their namesake - Pines!

      @@SuperfoodEvolution I know, but I've been surprised because I only ate a small amount twice in the last 2 days from a 5 oz. container that I paid $10 U.S. for. I think I've barely eaten 1/2 an ounce of them in total so far. They are _sooo_ buttery & rich, I just felt satisfied after having had a _very_ small amount. Normally, if I eat some nuts I really like, (for instance, cashews) I end up eating probably a couple handfuls.
      I'm fascinated by these little nuts now. I plan to do more research to see I can safely harvest them from any local Evergreens in my area... Cuz, you know... Plandemic and murmurings of food shortages 😱🤔😂....
      Your video on them is very informative. Thank you 😊❤️!

      By the way, I've been watching a lot of cooking and vegan food videos lately on UA-cam, so I did buy them with the intent to incorporate them in recipes that call for them. I'm not surprised that I haven't actually made any of these recipes yet. But I am surprised that I still have over 80% of these tiny little buttery nuts left!
      I was if-ey on whether or not it was wise to spend $10 on such a small amount because I thought there was a high probability I would've eaten almost all of them by now... But I haven't, simply because they really are so rich, almost too rich, to eat them in such a way like that, in my opinion so far.

      And one more thing... I am actually clinically obese! If I lost 15 pounds, I would be out of the obese range and back to just the overweight range. So I've enjoyed eating (& drinking!) a little too much for some time now. Just adding that to illustrate that I'm no waif, and that my body type seems to have nothing to do with why I have eaten so little of these pine nuts yet feel extremely satisfied after eating them.
      Edit: Wrote all of the above comments without recalling that this video reported that Pine Nuts can act as an appetite suppressant. I think this seems to be true from what I've experienced so far! 🤗😄🤣
