Many people are surprised to find that pine trees actually produce an edible nut that's not only tasty, but nutritious as well. In fact, pine nuts have been widely consumed since prehistoric times, and have enjoyed extensive culinary use in many different cultures. As with most nuts, pine nuts are a good source of protein, thiamin (vitamin B1) and magnesium.
Similar in size to sunflower seeds, NOW Real Food® Pine Nuts are an excellent snack, but they really shine when added to salads and other vegetable dishes, or as a hearty addition to home-baked bread. Once you try them we're sure you'll be "pining" for more!

It lends so much flavor, enhances so many foods and is so healthy that it would be wise for everyone to keep a batch in the fridge for quick use. This simple recipe incorporates spinach instead of basil with garlic, pine nuts, lemon and freshly grated parmesan cheese.

The possibilities are practically endless and eternally tasty.
