Pine nuts. The nuts within these shells are the edible seeds taken from a pine cone, they are also called Indian nuts or pinon. They are rich in B vitamins and proteins and high in essential fatty acids. Pine nuts are divided into two main types, the Mediterranean (or Italian) pine nuts (seen here) have a mild flavour and are commonly used for making pesto. The more strongly flavoured Chinese pine nuts are triangular shaped.
