Until very recently I had never heard of pili nuts...found them online at One Lucky Duck. They are very rich and kind of buttery tasting– great for eating on their own, baking with or making into a smooth sauce. I learned they are native of the Phillipines and grow in volcanic soil. They are healthy like most nuts but in addition contain a large amount of magnesium and Vitamin E as well as omegas and all essential amino acids.
