Crunchy, delicious Pine Nuts are actually small edible seeds of the pine tree. They contain plant derived nutrients, and good monounsaturated fatty acids that can help to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, leading to better cardiovascular health. They are an essential ingredient in making pesto.
Lightly toast to make a great crunchy snack. Sprinkle on salad or pasta for crunch. Ground with basil leaves, garlic, parmesan, and olive oil to make pesto sauce.
