Description

The pine family is one of the most familiar groups of trees in North America since it furnishes our traditional Christmas trees, provides us with strong, excellent softwood timber.

Less known perhaps is the fact that some members of the pine family also bear edible seeds or "nuts". Out of the 100 recognized species of true pines, only a few produce nuts of sufficient quality and desirable flavor to make them worth gathering in the Northern Hemisphere. Non deserible varities are an important source of turpentine and rosin.

“Pine nut” denotes any of these edible nuts. Other distinctions should be made, however, depending upon the geographical are involved. The most common designation for nuts in Europe is “pignolia”, a term which refers to pine nuts of the Italian stone pine, grown for the most part in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and North Africa. Nuts of a different species called “pinion”, a name derived from the Spanish word for pine nut, are produced in the western United States.
