CHINESE KERNELS: Called "Keg Type" because of
their shape. They are smaller than our kernels and their
flavour is not as good as ours.
UNTIMELY PROCESSED KERNELS: This type
of kernels are got from the pine cones by an artificial
way. The pines cones are boiled in water just after they
have been harvested, when the kernels are still undone.
This is the reason for they have a white colour and a
little piece of skin at the tops. Moreover, the flavour
of theses kernels is not as good as the sun processing
kernels as we will say below. In addition, the
germination is not possible with this kernels, so the
plantantion is not possible with them.

SUN PROCESSED
KERNELS: This is the natural way to process this item. The pine cones are
harvested from December to April. Afterwards, the pine cones keep onto big heaps
awaiting for the summer sun to hit them to be opened.
With this natural way of processing, we can get
the following profits:
-
a)
The complete maturation of kernels, securing
the characteristic flavour of the Spanish
Kernels.
-
b) The natural colour of
these kernels is yellowish, but not white.
-
c)
After the kernels are cracked, they are
brushed. Therefore, we get a nice dry and
bright kernel, with a natural flavour.
-
d) Afterwards, the sorting
of the kernels is by a colour selection
machine and finally, by hand.

e)
Therefore, the kernels processed in this way, kept
in a cool and dry place ( from 8 to 20 degrees ) and
suitably packed in jute bags, glass jars or plastic
bags, can be stored for a very long time.
-
f)
These kernel, with shell can be used for
planting.
-
g) The inconvenient of this way of
processing is that the producers do not recover the
money invested until 9 months from the investment
was done. On the other hand, they can offer kernel
of a very high quality. This is the way we produce
organic kernels.
