Key Attributes
Sensory: light-gold hue; mild, sweet-nutty aroma; buttery, creamy mouthfeel.
Nutrition: naturally rich in unsaturated fats (oleic, linoleic) and pinolenic acid, with meaningful plant protein, vitamin E, and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, and phosphorus.
Culinary versatility: ideal for salads and garnishes, pesto and dressings, pilafs and risottos, pastries, chocolates, and luxury snack mixes. Light toasting (low–medium heat) deepens the aroma and enhances sweetness.
Chef Notes & Pairings
For best character, use raw or lightly toast just until fragrant. Pairs beautifully with basil, parsley, citrus zest, honey, vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted vegetables, seafood, and aged cheeses. A small handful adds body and sheen to sauces; crushed kernels create an exquisite crust for fish or poultry.
Handling
Store airtight in a cool, dry place away from light; refrigerate after opening for optimal freshness.
Allergen: tree nuts (pine nuts).
Texturally, they offer a delicate snap when raw and turn silky when warmed or lightly toasted. Their lipid–protein balance makes them naturally satisfying while keeping the taste refined and never overpowering.
Naturally high in oleic & linoleic acids (with pinolenic acid) that support a balanced lipid profile.
Meaningful protein per serving to enrich salads, pesto, bakes, and snacks.
A natural source of vitamin E that helps protect against oxidative stress.
Provides magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, and phosphorus for everyday nutrition.
Healthy fats deliver steady, satiating energy with a buttery, creamy bite.
Mild, sweet-nutty flavor fits sweet and savory—raw or lightly toasted.
A finely milled flour made from Pinus gerardiana kernels (pine nuts). It delivers a mild, nutty aroma, soft texture, and a nutrient-rich profile for premium baking and cooking.
Yes—naturally gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly. It can fit keto/low-carb styles with portion control due to its healthy-fat content. Contains tree-nut allergens.
It’s not a 1:1 swap. For gluten-free formulas, use 20–40% of the blend with rice/tapioca/almond flours and add a binder (e.g., xanthan or psyllium). For wheat recipes, replace 5–15% of the flour to add richness and tenderness.
It’s lightly nutty and clean. Great in pancakes, muffins, cookies, tart shells, pesto variants, creamy soups, dips, and smoothies.
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight (0–25 °C). Shelf life is up to 12 months unopened; after opening, keep airtight (refrigeration helps maintain freshness).
