ABOUT
PINENUTSFARM

Pinenutsfarms was founded by Alain Lord Mounir a serial entrepreneur, early-stage investor, government advisor and philanthropist. Pine Nuts Farms primary orchard consists of 1360Ha of land, of which 500Ha hosts around 185,000 mature pine trees around 16 – 25 years old and at productive stage.

​

A further 530,000 seedlings were planted in 2019. These typically mature in 8 – 15 years from planting, and so are expected to be ready for cone harvesting in 2029.

​

The shorter-term crops are native species which will be harvested for essential oils, herbal tea and food flavourings.

ABOUT PINE NUTS

ABOUT

Pine nuts are edible kernels extracted from the seed of a variety of species of pine tree. The seeds are typically thick-shelled and grow inside of pine cones that look very similar to the pine cones that grow on other pines grown only for timber.

NUTRITION

Pine nuts are wonderfully healthy and nutritious food. They are rich in the kind of healthy fats now considered to be important in a healthy diet. Fatty acids found in pine nuts include linoleic acid and pinolenic acid which both are the subject of research into their role in regulating blood pressure, suppressing appetite for those trying to control their weight and preventing and treating stomach ulcers.
