Eat Them Raw
Pop a small handful (about 10-12 nuts) directly as a healthy snack. They have a naturally sweet, creamy taste. Great for a quick energy boost between meals.

Store Properly

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Kashmiri pine nuts so expensive?
Chilgoza trees grow only at high altitudes (above 3,000 meters) in the Himalayas. Harvesting them is very difficult and done entirely by hand. The trees take years to produce cones, and the yield is limited. This makes these nuts rare and valuable.
How are these different from regular pine nuts?
Kashmiri Chilgoza pine nuts are longer, thinner, and have a richer, sweeter taste compared to Chinese or European pine nuts. They come from the Pinus gerardiana tree found only in the western Himalayas.
How should I store pine nuts at home?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For best results, store in the refrigerator (lasts 3-4 months) or freezer (lasts up to 6 months). This keeps the natural oils from turning rancid.
Are these pine nuts raw or roasted?
Our pine nuts are raw and sun-dried. This keeps all the nutrients intact. You can eat them as-is or toast them at home for enhanced flavour.
Can I eat pine nuts if I follow a keto or paleo diet?
Yes! Pine nuts are low in carbs and high in healthy fats. They fit perfectly into keto, paleo, and low-carb diets.
How many pine nuts can I eat daily?
About 20-30 grams (a small handful or 2 tablespoons) per day is ideal. This gives you the health benefits without too many calories.
Are pine nuts good for heart health?
Yes. Pine nuts contain about 90% unsaturated fats, including oleic acid (the same healthy fat in olive oil). These fats help lower bad cholesterol and support heart health.
Can diabetics eat pine nuts?
Pine nuts have a low glycemic index and may help manage blood sugar levels. The healthy fats and protein slow down sugar absorption. However, always check with your doctor first.
