Pine Nuts (Pignolias)

Pine Nuts are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, like oleic acid. Oleic acid is responsible for lowering LDL “bad” cholesterol levels, improving antioxidant activity, and supporting cardiovascular function. Among the many benefits of pine nuts, they are a rich source of manganese, protein, iron, dietary fiber, phosphorus, beta carotene, and vitamins B, E, & K. Treat yourself to an ounce of pine nuts a day as a snack, or use in your cooking and baking.
