How to make the powder:

Precautions
Pine nuts are safe for most people, but:
- Eat them in moderation (they’re very calorie-dense).
- Rarely, some people experience a temporary bitter taste (known as “pine mouth”).
- Individuals with nut sensitivities should try a small amount first.
Pine nuts may be small, but their nutritional strength is enormous. They bring energy, support the brain, nourish the heart, promote glowing skin, and help balance appetite — all while adding incredible flavor to meals. Whether eaten raw, roasted, in pesto, or transformed into powder or butter, pine nuts offer a delicious and powerful way to improve your daily nutrition.
