Roasted pinon nuts: a specific Navajo reference

Pinon, also written piñon, names the seeds of certain pines. This table follows USDA's “Pinon Nuts, roasted (Navajo)” sample. It is not a common profile for all pine nuts, shelled kernels or packaged roasted products.

Calories in 10 or 20 grams

The source sample provides 541 kcal per 100 grams. A weighed 10 grams of that same sample gives 54 kcal; 20 grams gives 108 kcal. These are weight examples. The source supplies no tablespoon or handful weight. Do not count shell weight as edible kernel weight or interpret this record as advice to eat shells.

Why is the fibre value unusually high?

The historical record reports 43.4 grams of fibre within 51.06 grams of total carbohydrate per 100 grams. This differs markedly from familiar shelled pine kernels and describes only the analysed sample. If you have ordinary kernels, use their own label or a matching food record rather than assigning this high fibre value to your portion.

The same reference contains 34.08 grams of fat, 7.41 grams of protein and 310 mg of sodium. Its sodium value cannot establish whether every roasted product is salted or unsalted. Total sugar, cholesterol and vitamin A are unreported and remain unknown.

Using pinon and comparing pine nuts

Edible kernels sold as food can be added to meals, salads or sauces and included in the total recipe calculation. Species, shell removal and roasting method matter when choosing a nutrition record. This particular sample cannot establish a daily handful recommendation, benefits specific to women or treatment of a disease. For packaged products, the guide to raw, roasted and coated nuts explains useful label distinctions.

Source limits

The source is USDA SR28 record 35207, roasted pinon nuts, Navajo, identified as Pinus spp. Its limited historical sample is not representative of every current pine nut product.
