pine nuts
Conifer tree seeds
Pine nuts are the edible seeds of certain pine trees, small and pale with a rich, buttery flavor.
They're essential to pesto and appear in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Pine nuts are labor-intensive to harvest, making them expensive: I can't believe how much they charge for a tiny bag of pine nuts.
