The pine nuts come from the fruits of the Stone Pine (Pinus pinea). It is a native pine of Southern Europe, originating from Portugal, Spain, and North Africa. Known since ancient times, it was believed to possess aphrodisiac properties. However, not all pine seeds are edible.
It is rich in proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for the cardiovascular system, while containing significant amounts of zinc that contribute to the proper functioning of the reproductive and immune systems. Additionally, they may also help reduce appetite.
It is appreciated for its soft and almost creamy texture, its sweet and mildly spicy flavor, and its light resinous aroma. It can be eaten raw or roasted and is used in cooking, being a key ingredient in the Mediterranean diet and in the preparation of Italian pesto sauce.
