Are your cereal options limited by nut allergies? You might want to give pine nuts a try.
Despite their name, pine nuts are not nuts at all, but the edible seeds of pine trees. Their rich and earthy taste has been prized by foodies since the Stone Age. Today, pine nuts are popular in Latino, Mediterranean, Native American, and Asian cultures. They are known by many names including pignon, pignolia, pignoli, pinolos, pinhao, and pignole. The Tuscan word for pine nut is Pinocchio—although the belief that your nose will grow if you lie after eating them is, hopefully, just a myth. In terms of nutrition, pine nuts contain fiber, thiamine, vitamin B1 and protein—up to 35% of their mass is pure protein!
In ancient Greek and Roman times pine nuts were commonly preserved in honey, creating a sweet and nutritious treat that remains popular to this day. Their characteristic taste also matches perfectly with coffee—in the Southwest, the enticing aroma of piñon (pine nut) coffee is enough to beckon the sleepiest dreamer out of bed. Try your Mojamix with pine nuts, a dollop of honey, and a strong, fresh cup of coffee for a breakfast that’s rich, nourishing, and delicious. But keep it honest afterward (just to be on the safe side).
