Pine Nuts

Pine Nuts are edible seeds from pine cones commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Italian cuisines—famous for their buttery texture and role in pesto, salads and baked goods. They are energy-dense and high in fat, providing 68.4g of fat per 100g, much of which is unsaturated. Pine nuts are also a source of plant protein and supply notable trace minerals such as manganese and copper that support energy metabolism and antioxidant enzymes. Their fat profile is one of the food's strongest nutritional features, while they are typically used in small amounts because of their richness and calorie density.
