Pine Nuts — photo 1

Pine nuts are the small seeds of pine cones, used in pesto, salads, pilafs and baking, and eaten as a snack in Russia (kedrovye oreshki). A 20 g portion has about 135 kcal and 14 g of fat, about half of it polyunsaturated, and is very high in manganese, with a good amount of copper and some vitamin E, magnesium and zinc. They burn quickly, so toast them briefly in a dry pan.
