Taste Test – Pili Nuts

Pili nuts (Canarium ovatum), are a species of tropical tree belonging to the genus Canariumare the nuts grow in the volcanic soil of the Philippine peninsula. The nuts are high in protein, calcium and potassium.

The nuts were not to our liking they were mealy in texture and had an unusual flavor which was not to our taste. The ranch flavoring did not add significantly to the overall flavor. 5 out of 10, an acquired taste. They were not like any other type of nut we have tried but give them a go you never know how your taste may differ.
