Between the time they are picked off trees or bushes and the time that they are sold in stores or mixed into foods, edible nuts are usually processed at edible nut processing facilities by edible nut processing companies. Some nut processing facilities specialize in roasting nuts and salting nuts while others specialize in pressing nuts for their oil or in grinding nuts up to make nut butter. Some nut processing companies specialize in processing peanuts while others specialize in processing macadamia nuts. There are also chestnut processors, walnut processors, pistachio processors, almond processors, pecan processors, and Brazil nut processors. Some edible nut processing firms only process one kind of nut while others can roast, salt, press, or grind all kinds of nuts.
