Pine nuts are edible kernels extracted from the seed of a variety of species of pine tree. The seeds are typically thick-shelled and grow inside of pine cones that look very similar to the pine cones that grow on more common pines grown for timber. Cone harvesting and extraction and preparation of the kernels are time-consuming and costly - contributing to the high prices at which pine nuts sell. Pine nuts are highly nutritious and keep well for many months if stored properly in dry, cool conditions and out of direct sunlight. They add interest, flavor and texture to many sweet and savoury dishes. They are a truly natural product - essentially unchanged over centuries - requiring no insecticides or fungicides to either grow the trees or prepare the kernels for market.

Description:
The pine cone is an edible tiny seed that comes from the female pine cone of a pine tree. Although most pine trees produce edible seeds, only 18-20 species produce fruits large enough to be worth harvesting. Most of them live in North America, Europe and Asia. The process of production and trade can take from 18 months to 3 years, hence their high price in the market. The pine cone as a fruit is usually in the shape of a drop with a beige color, while its texture is relatively soft and buttery. The seed is removed by breaking the hard shell. Their taste is sweet.
It has been used since ancient times as an edible seed and it is often added to salads and recipes of Mediterranean cuisine. Typical is the use of pine nuts as a key ingredient in Italian pesto sauce. It is often roasted before being added to the recipe, for example when used as a nut in semolina halva.
