Pine nuts are an essential ingredient in traditional Spanish and Middle Eastern cuisine, but truly fresh ones are very hard to find in America.

Pine nuts contain between 10–34% of protein, and are a source of dietary fiber. They are frequently added to meat, fish, salads and vegetable dishes. They are also a key ingredient in some Spanish pesto. Pine nuts are used in Christmas cookies such as one that is made of almond flour formed into dough similar to that of a macaroon and then topped with pine nuts. (close)
