Pinenuts (100g) – Veganic
Pinenuts (100g) – Veganic
This is one 100g portion of organic Pinenuts which have been freshly packed for you. Pinenuts or pine kernels are the edible seeds of the female pine cone which come from the Pine tree.
Pine kernels are a splendid source of plant derived nutrients, essential minerals, vitamins and “heart friendly” monounsaturated fatty acids that benefit in reducing cholesterol levels.
The “flowers” of a pine tree develop into a cone. The female cones take about two to three years to mature after pollination. The scales at the base and tip of the cone are small and sterile and therefore bear no seeds. However once mature and dry, the pine cone naturally splits open to release the kernel. Within this edible organic kernel are creamy white, delicate buttery flavored and sweet tasting pine nuts.
