What Are Pine Nuts?
Pine Nuts is actually a misnomer, as these nuts are actually classified as seeds, harvested from none other than pine cones.
They are small, round and delicate and light in colour. They have the distinct fragrance and flavour of pine, and you have likely eaten them before, as they are an essential ingredient in pesto's. In fact, it's their inclusion in pesto's for which they are most well known!
