Pine nuts for :Nutrition and weight loss
Nutrition and weight loss

A number of species of the genus Pinus produce large seeds, pine nuts, that are edible and highly nutritious. Historically they have been used for food by Native peoples, and are considered a delicacy today. In Siberia, tribes gathered nuts of Pinus siberica, P. pumila and P. koriaensis. Russian settlers in Siberia also pressed oil from the nuts, which was called 'nut oil.' Pine nut oil has a low smoke point, and is not used in cooking, but is added to foods for flavor.

The edible nuts of pinons and other pines compare quite favourably with pecans, peanuts and walnuts in protein, fat and carbohydrate content and are eaten raw or roasted, and ground in sauces like pesto.

According to commerical sources who market weight loss products, the pinolenic acid contained in pine nut oil can help curb appetite by stimulating the release of cholecystokinin, a hormone that functions as an appetite suppressant.

Plant Description

Koehler's Medicinal-Plants 1887
Koehler's Medicinal-Plants 1887

All the Pines yield resin in greater or smaller quantities, which is obtained by tapping the trees. The crude resin is almost entirely used for the distillation of Oil of Turpentine and Rosin, only small quantities being employed medicinally - for ointments, plasters, etc. When the Oil of Turpentine is entirely distilled off, the residuum is Rosin or Colophony, but when only part of the oil is extracted, the viscous mass remaining is known commercially as common Crude Turpentine. Grive, M.,634
