Pili Nuts

[skyraft]

I think it comes down to how rare they are. They are only grown in one area of the philipines. Also none of my philipino friends have ever heard of them.

6 ounces for $13 is $35 a pound. Notoriously expensive pine nuts are $20/lb.

Yeah, I think I’ll have several ribeyes instead.

Yikes! This is telling.

or I can get bacon ends and pieces, 3 pounds for $5 at the local butcher. Hell, I can get macadamias and pecans for less than half what they want for pili nuts. I mean, I’m sure they’re tasty but I can’t imagine them tasting twice as good as pecans and macadamias.

1. I now want macadamia nuts
2. I can’t get bacon fat chocolate out of my head.

Thanks, dude. >.>

I now want macadamia nuts

It’s impossible for me to buy them, anymore. Once I get them home, they disappear. I live alone, it’s a mystery.

It wasn’t me. This time.

I can’t imagine any nut tasting better than macadamias either.

People usually haver either:

More time, less money
OR
More money and less time.

I found recently I LOVE pili nuts, but it’s like loving champagne on a beer budget. Hence, my search for a cheaper pili nut.

The first ones I ever tried. Outrageously good; outrageously expensive:
5oz for /$13.80 + $5.95 shipping

Cheaper in bulk from their website:
$43.99 + shipping if buy three 5oz bags ($14.63 per pound, not including shipping):

Here is what I tried today. They were skin-on, so it was an experiement to see if I could find a cheaper source. They are raw with skins on. 6oz for $8.58:

Peeling pili nuts:

My experiment was a success, and although a little time consuming, easy.

1. Bring a pan of water to a boil.
2. Dump in the pili nuts.
3. Boil for about 3 or 4 minutes, or until you see the skins loosening.
4. Set colander/strainer in sink; dump in the blanched nuts.
5. Run a little cool water over them, then pinch off the skins; the nuts slip right out.
6. I put them on some paper towel to soaks up the water.
7. Then put them in a bowl; drizzled a little melted coconut oil over; sprinkled on Himalayan Pink Salt and stirred.

Easy peasy. Yum!
