About Our Bulk Pine Nuts
An accurate description of pine nuts is the seeds of pine trees, found within shells underneath the scales of pine cones. Their consumption originates from the first recording of them as food in Paleolithic times when humans functioned as hunter-gatherers. Pine trees grow on almost every continent, leading nearly every human civilization to consume them. Each of the pine nut families from around the world is different. Some people are allergic to pine nuts from one continent and not another.
Bulk pine nuts have a variety of benefits:
- They are fantastic when you eat them by the handful—a milder taste than most other nuts.
- More famously, pine nuts are an essential ingredient in traditional Italian pesto and pignoli cookies.
- Bakers can also bake them into bread.
- An addition as an extra boost of nutrients and flavor to salads and meat dishes.
Storage
Our pine nuts will last shorter in your fridge than most others. These seeds from a pine tree, contain significant levels of oil. This merits being frozen for shorter times. In the refrigerator, they will stay fresh for up to two months. These pine nuts will be fresh, in a frozen environment, for between three and six months.
Nutrients
These bulk pine nuts contain high amounts of dietary fiber and protein, much like many other seeds and nuts. They also are rich in monounsaturated fats, such as Oleic Acid, commonly known as “good fats.” Pine Nuts are also thought to contribute to the feeling of satiation and appetite suppression.
