Piñon nuts, also known as pine nuts, are the edible seeds harvested from certain species of pine trees, commonly found in Southwestern U.S., Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines. These delicate, buttery seeds are rich in nutrients, boasting high levels of healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health and cholesterol management. They provide a good source of protein, making them a beneficial addition to vegetarian diets, and are packed with vitamins such as vitamin E, which promotes healthy skin, and B vitamins for energy metabolism. Piñon nuts also contain essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, which support bone health and immunity. However, due to their high calorie and fat content, portion control is important to avoid overconsumption. Used in everything from pesto to baked goods, piñon nuts bring a subtle richness to dishes while delivering notable nutritional benefits.
