No Let's Yeah | irrelevantly irreverent

Pine nuts are used in pesto dishes and many Mediterranean dishes. When toasted, they impart a nice flavor to other meat and vegetable dishes. But are they really from pine trees? The appearance of the pine nut doesn’t necessarily hint at any relation to the tall evergreen tree found around the world in northern climates.

Well, the answer is yes. Pine nuts are the seed found inside pine cones.

At the store, pine nuts may have high price tags, due to the high cost of processing. Today at the local supermarket, pine nuts were going for $20/lb. Luckily, most dishes do not require a full pound of pine nuts. Even a small amount can add a nice touch to your dish.
