Pine Nuts / Pignoli Measuring FAQs

What causes the phenomenon known as pine mouth? ▾

Consuming seeds from certain non-food pine species (such as Pinus armandii) can cause a metallic, bitter taste disturbance lasting several days to two weeks.

Should pine nuts be stored in the refrigerator or freezer? ▾

Yes, their extraordinarily high oil content causes rapid rancidity; store them in the freezer for up to 9 months.
