Yummy!
they are very delish, especially toasted, and quite expensive... our relatives send them to us from New Mexico... we toast them in an iron skillet on the stove, leave the shell on, add salt... and then crack them open like flower seeds...
I grew up in Spain, and roasted pine nuts were a treat! They would sell them with a little nail to help crack them. Some 25 years ago I brought a handful of them from a trip to Spain, somehow I made it thru customs, and planted them in the front yard of the house we had just built. Things didn’t work out like we planned and a little while later we sold the house and moved away. Years later I found out the new owner, unaware of the type of pine trees they were, had cut them and replaced with something else. I still feel bad for those little pine nut trees!
Yummy!
