Why the fuck are these bastards so expensive?

Why the fuck are these bastards so expensive?

I wanna drown in pesto but I can't afford to buy these fuckers.

Is there a real alternative?

Take pine needles and soak them in oil, and then fry peanuts in that oil.

This sounds interesting. Is that really a thing?

Pine nut's just expensive cause it's a pain in the ass to deshell. Otherwise you can literally walk into any forest with pines and pick your own nuts out of pinecones. It just takes forever.

I use pecans.

Really? There's a piece of land a few meters from my house and I see some pines. It's believed to be haunted tho.

any nuts honestly, i made pesto with anything from walnuts(would recommend) to almonds, sure you taste a difference, but its not like it tastes worse, just slightly different

This. I toasted some walnuts and mage a pesto sauce, it definitely tasted different, but not horrible

>not exclusively eating locally foraged haunted pine nuts
lmao @ ur life

It depends on the season. If you don't get them when they first fall, they'll all be picked over by squirrels.

But yes, I've done this before but the yield is tiny. took me several hours of hunting & peeling to get about 1/4 cup of decent pine nuts.

Just look it up on youtube, tons of videos.

Just use walnuts.

No it is not a thing.
Use any mild nut. Walnuts are a bit bold with a distict flavor. That might be a good thing but if youre just trying to get a nutty quality in there go with something more subtle like almond hazel nut or maybe pecan. Sunflower seeds are another good one if you start with unsalted. Be sure to roast them before crushing.

This is madness. There has to be a technological solution here.

>go to store with self-serve nut area
>fill bag with pine nuts
>go to self checkout and use code for peanuts

>There has to be a technological solution here.
There is and it culminated in the jars of pine nuts that you find at the grocery store.

Delightfully devilish user.

Got caught, don't do it.

What happened?

Haunted nuts are great, gonna restore your mana as well.

>Too scared of haunted pine nuts.
Pussy.

Pine nuts turned to peanuts.
Jester pantsed me.

Got blacklisted and won't be able to buy pine nuts again.

Got blacked and now pine over nuts.

Nutted and now pine over blacks.

>he didn't explain that pine nuts are right next to peanuts and just hit the wrong button
Idiot.

>buy small bag of peanuts
>buy large bag of pine nuts

>furry tree jew drops a stick on me

Whatever nature fuck you too

labor intensive to extract

>stick organic on the name
>jack price up 1.5-2x times

I used to work in a bistro and we would cut the pine nuts for pesto very heavily with cashews

>Is there a real alternative?
Almonds, pecans, and hazlenuts all make a great pesto.

Do they not get the nut out with machines like basically every other nut?

fucking kek

>tfw no sp00ky pesto

why live

They're only grown in specific pine cones. They need to be harvested as they drop off the trees at varying intervals. Then they have to be heated just enough to loosen the seeds for extraction.

It's laborious.

>you will never have a smear of haunted pesto underneath lake wendigo harvested bass that's been smoked from wood harvested from the infamous suicide forest

op here, I'm not joking, I know this is /x/ territory but that place is really spooky as shit and I've experienced some weird shit over the years.

Anyway, I'm going to try some walnuts.

Give us a greentext of experiences, I crave delicious fresh creepypasta

You ever spend summers in italy picking this off of and from under a pine tree and cracking the shells open and eating them one by one? Cause i did and i know why they cost as much as they do.

Going to sleep soon, maybe another day :/

I like cashews as a sub for pine nuts

I use unroasted almonds.

Go to the asian store and buy them cheaper.

Why would asians have cheaper pine nuts?

Because asians have everything cheaper.
