Description
Pine nuts are the edible seeds of several species of pine trees, particularly from the family Pinaceae. Pine nuts are a source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamins E and K), and minerals (such as magnesium, iron, and zinc). They also contain antioxidants and essential amino acids. The process of harvesting and peeling pine nuts is labor intensive, which contributes to their higher price compared to other nuts and seeds.
We deliberately choose Italian pine nuts, from the stone pine(Pinus pinea) because this is the best guarantee of quality (even though they are a lot more expensive than Russian or Chinese pine nuts). What makes Italian pine nuts so special? They have a mild, nutty flavor and a deliciously creamy bite. Authentic pesto is made with Italian pine nuts.
