About Stone pine nut
Stone pine nuts are the edible seeds found inside the cones of stone pine trees. They are elongated, smooth seeds with a pale ivory interior and a mild, buttery, resinous flavour. The term refers to this particular pine seed, rather than to nuts in general or to seeds from other pine species.
They are eaten raw or lightly toasted and used in savoury and sweet preparations, including sauces, salads, and baked foods. They are sold shelled, and may also be found roasted or packaged with other ingredients. Freshness and roasting affect aroma and texture; comparisons should distinguish plain seeds from salted or prepared products.
