Pine nuts are the seeds of the pine tree, but not all varieties of pine trees produce nuts that are edible. In North America, the nut pine and digger pine produce pine nuts.
Pine nuts must be harvested by hand. The nuts are embedded within the pine cones, and must be extracted. Most pine nuts are sold already shelled.
Pine nuts do not have a long shelf life, and can turn bitter if not preserved properly. They should be kept in the refrigerator or freezer.
Pine nuts are most often associated with pesto, a sauce made with pine nuts, basil, garlic, grated cheese and olive oil. They are also used in cookies, desserts and as salad toppings.
Pine nut oil can be produced by pressing pine nuts. The oil can be used in cooking or taken as a natural health supplement.
