>a cache of pine cones worth $15 a bushel. These woody cones are in steep demand A bushel, even of lightweight pine cones, is fairly large at eight gallons. For some varieties*, a bushel of pine cones delivers 1.2 pounds of pine nuts per bushel. $15 per sounds unlike "steep demand" to me, based on my observation of prices of raw pine nuts in areas I've been where they're harvested by locals. But they provide no justification for their idea, or market context. It just leaves me suspicious. * https://www.fs.fed.us/eng/ref/seedlings/conecoll/determine.h... |
