Preparation, uses, and tips
Pine nuts can be eaten raw or roasted. Raw pine nuts are creamy white and have a slightly
resinous flavor that is eliminated by roasting. Raw pine nuts are ground and used to make
Italian pesto sauce. Pine nuts can be roasted in a 350°F (180°C) oven or on top of
the stove until golden brown. Pine nuts are used in salads, stuffing, and other savory dishes,
and can be used to make cookies, breads, and desserts.
There are several varieties of pine trees that produce pine nuts, including the umbrella
pine or stone pine. Most edible pine nuts grow in Southern Europe, particularly Italy and
France, although some also grow in Spain, Portugal, and the southern United States.
