In my childhood we used to call them "Indian nuts" and buy them for
pennies from vending machines. Today anyone can readily buy shelled
pine nuts but the unshelled nuts seem to have disappeared from the
market.  They must be available somewhere but it seems a secret. Can
you find me a source, preferably internet friendly, where I might buy
some in small quantities?

Hi finler,
