Pine nuts, also known as piñon or pignoli, are the buttery, nutty, absolutely delicious little seeds of—yes—pine trees. Inside the pinecones, there are hard seeds, and inside those…the pine nuts.
Underneath beech trees in autumn you will find small spiky pods containing triangular brown nuts, these are the edible beech nuts and a great nut to farage in autumn. In very small amount beech nuts can be eaten raw but this can lead to digestive upsets if too many are eaten, this is due to the nuts containing the toxin saponin glycoside. Determining whether you have had too many can be very personal to you, it seems everyone can tolerate different amounts, so if you are eating them raw proceed with caution. By roasting the beech nuts not only do you improve their flavour but the heat also breaks down the toxin enabling you to eat more, safely. They’re especially great on salads (try them on this arugula asparagus salad) or sprinkled on top of a creamy pasta recipe. They’re also fantastic on top of hummus. I’m not even joking when I say that I dream of silky hummus topped with perfectly toasted pine nuts and a drizzle of the best olive oil I can find.

Some raw pine nuts can cause pine mouth syndrome, a taste disturbance lasting from a few days to a few weeks after consumption. A bitter, metallic, unpleasant taste is reported. There are no known lasting effects, with the United States Food and Drug Administration reporting that there are "no apparent adverse clinical side effects". [21] Raw nuts from Pinus armandii, mainly in China, may be the cause of the problem. [22] [1] Metallic taste disturbance is typically reported 1–3 days after ingestion, being worse on day two and typically lasting up to two weeks. [21] Cases are self-limited and resolve without treatment. [23] [24] Other uses [ edit ] All types of pine trees produce pine nuts but some species produce larger nuts than others. Trees over the age of 15 start to produce pine nuts with their yield increasing as they age.

If you want to extend their shelf life, you can even use the freezer so that the nuts can last up to 6 months. All of these methods work great. Which method you choose depends a little on how many pine nuts you want to toast at once. I’ll cover that as I go through the methods. Pine nuts are a source of omega-3s, containing 31.4 mg per ounce (28 grams). According to the National Institutes of Health, the recommended daily intake for adults is 1.1 grams for females and 1.6 grams for males ( 12, 18). Sweet Chestnut trees have been here in the UK since they were introduced by the Romans. The sweet chestnuts, not to be mistaken with the NON edible horse chestnuts, are encased in small spikes green globes that fall from the trees when ripe in October. Perhaps you noticed that I didn’t say how long it would take. I did that on purpose. It really depends a lot on how heavy your skillet is. A heavy skillet heats up more slowly. It does a great job of roasting the pine nuts but will take a bit longer. In addition, “medium-low” heat can vary depending on the stove and the person at the controls. If you’re like me, I like to hurry things along a bit and often crank it up just a bit more. However, low and slow heat really does a better job of toasting nuts.
