INPUT ARTICLE: Article: . If you have simply purchased shelled pine nuts, then you can skip this step. However, if you're looking to gather your own pine shells, then you should know that it's a lengthy process that can take months. Here's what you have to do: For the gray pine, you should collect the cones in September or October and keep them in an airy, but dry place, such as a garage. The cones should still be tightly closed at this point. Wait for the cones to slowly open, revealing their nuts. Then, bang the cones around in a gunnysack until all of the nuts fall out. Alternately, you pick them out by hand, if you don't mind getting resinous pitch stuck to them. Toss out the winged part of the shell that connects the shell to the cone. Remove any nuts with holes in them; this means bugs have gotten to them. It's important to know which type of pine nut species you're dealing with. Pine nuts can have soft or hard shells, and hard-shelled nuts shouldn't be cracked with your teeth, or you could hurt yourself. Here are the main types of pine nut you need to know: The New Mexico pinon pine nut. This is a buttery nut that is wild and hand harvested. These are the most valuable pine nut in the world and they have a hard shell that is too hard to crack with your fingers or teeth. The Italian Stone pine. This nut is popular in Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. It is a longer, rounder nut. The Chilgoza pine nut. These nuts are typically found in Afghanistan or Pakistan and they are long and boat-shaped with a sharp end. They are typically shelled by roasting over an open fire; they are more rare. The gray pine nut. Typically found in Northern California, these nuts have a bit of a softer shell. The Nevada pine nut. These are sweeter, fruitier, larger, and easier to shell. Unshelled nuts have a long shelf life if they are kept refrigerated, so make sure you place them in the fridge if you don't plan on shelling them right away. However, once unshelled, your nuts may only last a few weeks, or even just a few days, without the refrigerator, so you should refrigerate them as soon as you can if you don't plan on eating them right away. Many people like to put pine nuts in the freezer to give them an extra crunchy taste and to make them last longer, while others maintain that this takes away some of their rich, nutty flavor.

SUMMARY: Gather your unshelled pine nuts Identify your species of pine nut. Make sure to refrigerate your nuts.
