I spent yesterday afternoon harvesting and then roasting Jojoba nuts. Click here for instructions.
As mentioned in the above link, eating too many will result in a stomach ache so I divide them
into small bags that I can throw in my backpack. The tiny bags can be purchased at craft stores.
I’ve read articles claiming Jojoba nuts have properties that can curb your appetite which is
why I started snacking on them in the first place. So far it sure it hasn’t work for me…darn it 🙂
There was a banner crop of Jojoba nuts this year. This shot from yesterday shows how they eventually end up on the ground. As the shell dries, it curls and the nuts literally fall out of their shells.
I really enjoy eating them and when I read they have a much longer shelf life than regular nuts, I decided to do some harvesting. Donning my big hat, Chris said I looked like Juan Valdez picking coffee beans 🙂 I found directions for roasting them which worked well and they taste even better roasted.
