Harvesting: Pine cones are carefully collected from cedar pine trees. These cones contain the pine nuts, which are the edible seeds found within the cone’s scales.
Drying: The collected pine cones are placed in a well-ventilated area to allow them to naturally dry. Drying helps loosen the scales and facilitate the extraction of the pine nuts.
Shelling: Once the pine cones are sufficiently dried, the scales are manually or mechanically separated to reveal the pine nuts inside. This shelling process requires care to extract the nuts without damaging them.
Cleaning: The shelled pine nuts are then cleaned to remove any debris, pieces of shell, or other impurities that may have resulted from the shelling process.
