Pili Nut , my native land

Hi, I’m Vicky from Naga City, Bicol Region, Philippines
where there are many foods grown wild, organically and farmed. Our region is in
the land of Mayon Volcano that erupted several times making the soil very rich in vitamins and minerals. This is some of the most fertile land in all the world
and where the Pilinut originates from. It is a very tall tree with fruit that appears similar to a small Avocado, but that encases a very special nut called pili (peely).

Pili nut (Pilinut)

Pilinut is so Soft enough that anyone can eat it, melt in your mouth. Try it to believe it.

The outer “nut” shell is very hard, then the skin is very thick. Through processes over lifetimes of local farmers in the Philippines, the final product
is the bare-naked pilinut. It must be cooked, roasted or dried in order to preserve it for human consumption. The finished product is in many popular flavors such as roasted raw, sea salted, garlic, honey or chili.  Pili has been enjoyed by our Region for many generations and I want to share this special nut with you. Enjoy this melt in your mouth mild nutty flavor with the gentle hint of butter taste.

Pine Nuts

Pine nuts are a True rare nut from wild natural forests in Asia where it takes 25-50 years before they seed and then once every two years for harvest.

Like the Pilinut, Pine nuts grow very high 60-100ft up in the tree making it another dangerous process for picking as it must be picked by hand.

What is a Tiger Nut? Tiger nuts are tubers, not actually nuts. They get their name due to the stripes on the exterior. Examples of tubers are sweet potatoes, beets and carrots.

Tiger nuts were buried in tombs with Egyptians, ancient tools have traces of them and they are from West Africa, Fun fact: They require 95% less water than almonds. 

They are a carbohydrate adding some sweetness, but are high in fiber making them a very good digestive food.
