Did you first hear about them on Shark Tank or on vacation in the Philippines? Or did you just randomly stumble upon the healthy, trendy new pili nut? However you heard about them, you may have come to find out that they aren’t so easy to find. So where can you buy pili nuts? We’ve got the list for you.

But first, for those who aren’t as familiar, let’s dive into what makes these nuts so special.

What Are Pili Nuts?

Found in different parts of Southeast Asia, pili nuts are currently only commercially harvested in the Philippines. Also known as the Java almond, this nut has a high fat, low carbohydrate nutrition content, making it a filling snack option. Because of its healthy nutrients and filling properties, this nut has become more popular in recent years. As far as taste goes, these nuts have been described as similar to the pine nut but also as a mix between macadamia and cashew nuts.

While pili nuts are a great snack option, they have historically been very difficult to harvest. The hard outer shell makes cracking into these nuts tricky. Not to mention, the trees that bear the nut fruit take many years to grow before they even begin producing the nut.
