Pine nut, is typically an autumn food but you may find it in the shop all year round.
It can be consumed raw, in salads or being part of numerous gastronomic dishes. By having high calorie indices (600 kcal / 100g) we advise its moderate use of about 100 g / day. We know that today Pine Nut has become a more expensive product than other dried fruits, this is due to the scarcity (lack of production and fires), but we are sure to have the lowest prices on the market anyway.
