Pine nuts

Pine nuts are the seeds found in certain types of pine cones. They are renowned for their mild, sweet flavor and buttery texture, which is due to their high-fat content.

A 1/4-cup (34-gram) portion of pine nuts has 23 grams of fat in addition to 4 grams of protein.

Pine nuts are high in unsaturated fats, which may help reduce risk factors for heart disease. One of the fatty acids found in pine nuts may have anti-inflammatory properties and aid in the prevention of cancer spread.

Toasted pine nuts are an excellent way to add protein to salads, grain bowls, or vegetables. To toast pine nuts at home, roast them for a few minutes in a skillet over medium heat until aromatic.

HIGHLIGHT:

• Sweet, buttery pine nuts are more than simply a tasty snack. They also provide 4.5 grams of protein and healthy fats per 1/4-cup (34-gram) serving.
