Pine Kernels

Pine Kernels are a nutritiously dense snack that can be eaten raw or roasted. Most often they are sprinkled over salads, on top of hummus & blended into pestos or other sauces. This small, sweet, rich nut comes with a hefty price tag due to the immense time & labour invested into its harvest. It can take up to 25 years for pine trees to start producing edible pine kernels & even longer for production to reach its peak. Pine kernels are known to promote heart health, improve blood sugar levels, boost brain health & help maintain healthy body weight on account of pinolenic acid, polyphenols, high manganese content & omega-3 fatty acids.
