SIBERIAN CEDAR NUTS

Pine nuts are praised throughout the world as a nutritious healthy snack and essential ingredient in multiple oriental and Mediterranean dishes (check out our Recipes section for incredible culinary suggestions). In fact, pine nuts are so nutritious they have been the staple in diet of many Native American tribes and indigenous people of Siberia (see the nutrition chart below). There are over 20 pine tree species in the world producing pine nuts, of which the pine nuts of Siberian cedar (or Siberian pine, Pinus sibirica) are recognized as the most nutritious. These are the pine nuts that are marketed under "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand. We have them both shelled (ready to eat) and in the shell. While extracting these pine nuts is a meditative time-consuming process, the rewards are great as well - freshly shelled pine nuts have some volatile essential oils (giving them an additional crisp fragrance of pine needles and a unique taste) which evaporate within one hour after the nuts are shelled.

Siberian pine nuts bearing "The Ringing Cedars of Russia" brand are available from www.RingingCedarsofRussia.com on-line Store, both shelled and in the shell, and in a variety of packages. They have a shelf life of 6 to 12 months (refrigerated) and may be frozen to extend their shelf life indefinitely.
