Pine Nuts, also known as pinyons or pignolias, are the edible seeds of pine trees.
They have been cultivated in Europe and Asia since the Paleolithic period and in the United States, the harvesting of pine nuts is almost exclusively done by Native Americans.
Pine nuts are a versatile ingredient with a rich creamy flavor and texture. They are added to meat, fish, and vegetable dishes and are used in sauces and desserts.
