harvest time

jojoba nuts
Jojoba nuts (Simmondsia chinensis) are ready for harvesting and I picked a bagful last night. They look and taste a little like filberts. They’re described as being a little bitter which I noticed with the first few I ate but now I think they’re delicious! They have a very long shelf life and won’t go rancid like the many tree nuts we know. Click here for an excellent description.
