The 411 on a seedy character
The buttery flavor of pine nuts makes them a common ingredient many cuisines. Pine nuts are the edible cream-colored seeds of certain pine trees. They’re also called Indian nuts or pinon nuts and must be extracted from the cones. Also, there are different varieties in several regions of the world. Not every grocery store carries this ingredient. We bought pine nuts at a local organic food specialty store. Even then, the nuts were stocked in the refrigerator because their oil content means a limited shelf life. These nuts aren’t cheap. Pine nuts are rich sources of protein and fiber. Try adding crushed pine nuts to a coating for broiled fish filets or roast beef.

do the pine trees we see in North America produce these? I have never heard of this nut.
