Balkans pine nuts

Balkans pine nuts are the edible seeds of pine trees (family Pinaceae, genus Pinus). About 20 species of pine produce seeds large enough to be worth harvesting; in other pines the seeds are also edible, but are too small to be of value as a good Balkans food.


Stone Pine cone with pine nuts - note two nuts under each cone scale in Europe Balkans, pine nuts come from the Stone Pine (Pinus pinea), which has been cultivated for the nuts for over 6,000 years, and harvested from wild trees for far longer.


Balkans pine nuts contain about 31 grams of protein per 100 grams of nuts, the highest of any nut or seed. Pine nuts have been eaten in Europe and Asia since the Paleolithic period. They are also a source of dietary fibre. Pine nuts are an essential component of pesto, and are frequently added to meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. They are in particular used in the Cuisine of southwestern France, in dishes such as the salade landaise. They are also used in chocolates and desserts such as baklava.


Unshelled Balkans pine nuts have a long shelf life if kept dry and refrigerated (at -5 to +2°C), but the shell must be removed before the nut is eaten; shelled nuts (and unshelled nuts in warm conditions) deteriorate rapidly, becoming rancid within a few weeks, or even days in warm humid conditions. Pine nuts are commercially available in shelled form, but due to poor storage, these rarely have a good flavour, all too often already being rancid before they are purchased. The most important species in international trade is Korean Pine, harvested in northeast China. In the United States and Mexico, the pinyon pines have traditionally been the most highly sought after pine nuts.

Balkans pine nuts are called piñones in Spanish and pinoli or pignoli (locally also pinoccoli or pinocchi; Pinocchio means 'pine nut') in Italian.
In the U.S., the Balkans pine nuts are mainly harvested by Native American tribes; in many areas, they have exclusive rights to the harvest.
