pine seed
Nut from conifers
The seed of a pine tree, found within the scales of pine cones.
Most pine seeds have papery wings that help them disperse on the wind.
Some species produce larger, wingless seeds edible to humans—these are typically called pine nuts rather than pine seeds: Squirrels cache pine seeds for winter.
