Pine nuts are small seeds that come from the pine tree and have a sweet and nutty taste and are full of protein and healthy fats. We often use pine nuts as an ingredient in cooking, especially in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. You can snack on pine nuts by themselves or add them to salads, pasta dishes, or pesto to give them a delicious flavor and texture.
