Pine nuts are the edible seeds of pines (family Pinaceae, genus Pinus). About 20 species of pine produce seeds large enough to be worth harvesting. Throughout Europe and Middle East the pine nuts used are traditionally from Pinus pinea (stone pine). Pine nuts have been eaten in Europe and Asia since the Paleolithic period. They are frequently added to meat, fish, salads and vegetable dishes or baked into bread. In Italian they are called pinoli, in the U.S. they are often called "pignoli". They are an essential component of Italian pesto sauce. In Catalonia, a sweet is made of small marzipan balls covered with pine nuts, painted with egg and lightly cooked and those are called "Panellets". Pine nuts are also featured in the salade landaise of southwestern France. Pine nut coffee, known as piñón (Spanish for pine nut), is a speciality found in the southwest United States, especially New Mexico, and is typically a dark roast coffee having a deep, nutty flavour; roasted and lightly salted pine nuts can often be found sold on the side of the road in cities across New Mexico to be used for this purpose, as well as a snack. The Nevada, or Great Basin, pine nut has a sweet fruity flavor and is promoted for its large size, sweet flavor and ease of peeling. Pine nuts are also widely used in Middle Eastern cuisine, reflected in a diverse range of dishes such as kibbeh, sambusak, desserts such as baklava, and many others. They are also very essential in Turkish Dolma Filling preparation. They are called "Dolmalik Fistik" in Turkish.
