Piñon nuts grown in the southwest United States are scarce and difficult to harvest. My kids have been picking piñons for a few weeks now. (You can't pick on reservation land unless you are a Jicarilla Apache.) Availability of piñons is generally scarce, but by all accounts this year's is a bumper crop. The kids bring them in by the pocketfuls after the nuts have been roasted in their shells. Some additional FAQs on piñons are here. New Mexican piñons should not be confused with their Italian cousins, the pignoli.
