The word "piñón" plural "piñones" refers to pine nuts.

http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/piñón

masculine noun

  1. pine nut o kernel (fruto) • estar a partir un piñón con alguien to be hand in glove with somebody

  2. pinion (rueda dentada) • ser de piñón fijo to be fixed o rigid

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piñón

El piñón es la semilla propia de las especies del género Pinus (familia Pinaceae), procedente de la piña. Alrededor de 20 de estas especies producen piñones suficientemente grandes como para que su recolección sea productiva; en otras especies, aunque también comestibles, son demasiado pequeños y sin valor para la alimentación humana.

Terribly expensive in Mexico ! - pacofinkler, Aug 11, 2014
I grow up in New Mexico and we went out on weekends and collected them. I grow up eating them like candy. I had no idea how expensive they were until much later. - gringojrf, Aug 11, 2014
