Harvesting

Organic pine nuts come from stone or pinyon pine trees, native to Mediterranean and arid regions. Harvested in late summer to early autumn, ripe pine cones are dried to release the seeds, which are then shelled to reveal creamy-white kernels.

Rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc, pine nuts add a nutty flavour to dishes. Whether enjoyed raw, toasted, or blended into recipes like pesto, their natural goodness makes them a versatile choice for culinary and health-conscious needs.

The organic nature of Organic Pine Nuts means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Pine Nut and Roasted Vegetable Salad

Create a unique and nutritious salad by toasting pine nuts and tossing them with roasted vegetables such as butternut squash, red peppers, and courgettes. Add a mix of fresh greens and a light vinaigrette dressing for a satisfying and flavourful plant-based meal. The pine nuts add crunch and nutty flavour to the salad.

Quinoa Salad with Pine Nuts

Cook quinoa in vegetable broth until tender, then let it rest. Steam asparagus briefly, rinse with cold water, and drain. Create a dressing by mixing 1 clove of garlic, 2 tbsp reserved oil from sundried tomatoes, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tbsp of freshly chopped oregano, 2 tbsp freshly chopped basil, and salt and pepper in a large bowl, then mix in the quinoa, asparagus, sundried tomatoes, olives, and onions. Toss gently, top with toasted pine nuts, and serve.

Traditional Pesto Sauce

Pine nuts are a key ingredient in traditional pesto sauce. Combine pine nuts, fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, and cashew cheese in a food processor to create a delicious and versatile sauce. Use it as a pasta sauce, spread it on sandwiches, or drizzle it over roasted vegetables for a burst of flavour.

The History of Organic Pine Nuts

Organic pine nuts have a rich history dating back thousands of years, originating from the Mediterranean and Asia.
