Pine nuts are the edible seeds of pine trees and have been a staple in the human diet for thousands of years. Today, they are prized for their nutty flavor and nutritional value. Pine nuts can be expensive, but they are easy to grow at home. With a little patience, you can enjoy fresh pine nuts for years to come.<\/p>\n

The first step is to purchase a young pine tree that is already several feet tall. You will also need to buy or find a spot to plant the tree that gets full sun and has well-drained soil. Once you have your tree and your location, dig a hole that is twice as wide as the tree’s root ball and just as deep. Carefully remove the tree from its container and place it in the hole. Be sure to backfill the hole with the same soil you removed. Next, water the tree deeply and regularly for the first year. After the first year, you can allow the tree to dry out between watering.<\/p>\n

Pine tree seeds should be dried and stored in an airtight container or planted immediately, depending on when they were harvested. Seeds are usually planted around the first of the year. Start the seeds indoors, placing them in individual pots with well-drained potting soil.<\/p>\n

Pine seeds are found in pine cones and take about 18 months to mature. Since the pine nuts are ready to harvest 10 days or so before the cone begins to open, they are very difficult to remove. The most labor-intensive part of the process is removing the seeds from the cones by hand.<\/p>\n
