November 24, 200817 yr My yes, so many wonderful treats. The pine nut or piñon , is an edible seed of various species of pine trees. Among the North American species that bear such edible seeds are the nut pines or piñons, Pinus edulis (my personal favorite) and P. monophylla, and the Digger pine, P. sabiniana, named after the Diggers of California. The nuts have a thin red-brown shell and range in size from about 3/4 in. (1.91 cm) to about 1 1/2 in. (3.75 cm). Pine nuts, or Indian nuts, were an important food for some early Native Americans and are still harvested in quantity both for food and for trading. They are picked from the ground, taken from squirrel caches, or extracted by hand from the cones. Some pine stands are in danger of depletion because insufficient seeds are left for reproduction. Pignolia nuts are the seeds of P. pinea of S Europe, where they are cultivated and much used for food. Quantities are exported to be used salted and in confectionery. Seeds of numerous other European and Asian pines are gathered under many local names. The name pignolia is often applied to all pine nuts and vice versa. Which leads me to Ask can Pines be smoked...Like Tabaco?
November 24, 200817 yr Which leads me to Ask can Pines be smoked...Like Tabaco? I don't know the answer, But let me be the first to extol the virtues of Extra Virgin Siberian Pine Nut Oil. According to a human study by Lipid Nutrition, pinolenic acid in pine nut oil can reduce the appetite. Pinolenic acid activates the release of "hunger suppressing hormones" CCK (cholecystokinin) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). These send a feeling of “fullness” to the brain and decrease the desire to eat. It can help reduce excessive caloric intake of people who regularly over eat and for those who are trying to quit smoking. Read more here...
November 24, 200817 yr Are we allowed to say that on here? Yes, as far as I am aware, the word "extra" is not a word filter violation.
November 24, 200817 yr Which leads me to Ask can Pines be smoked...Like Tabaco? I am not aware of any information that promotes or condones the smoking of pine.
November 24, 200817 yr And of course, we can't ignore the fact that the Pine, as glorious and magnificent as it is, also has potential dangers. Please take a moment to read this disturbing article from the House Rabbit Society, the nation's foremost expert on domesticated hares (Or Oryctolagus cuniculus as they are more commonly known). http://www.rabbit.org/care/shavings.html

January 18, 200917 yr Tonight, I discovered a new beer called Alba Scots Pine Ale. The label describes the beer as follows: "Introduced by the Vikings,spruce and pine ales were very popular in Northern Scotland until the end of the 19th century. Alba is a "triple" style ale brewed to a traditional Highland recipe using the sprigs of spruce and pine collected every spring. This complex, rich tawny ale is best drunk at room temperature from a wine goblet. Just one more reason to praise the magnificent pine!
