pinenuts
Conifer's edible seeds
Pine nuts are the small, elongated seeds harvested from certain pine tree species, prized for their rich, buttery flavor.
They appear frequently in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, most famously as the base of pesto: Toast the pine nuts before adding them to the sauce.
Their high oil content makes them expensive and prone to rancidity.
Also spelled as two words: pine nuts.
