Long, large seeds gathered from the cones of the monkey puzzle tree. For the Mapuche of Chile they are a winter staple, eaten boiled or roasted in coals and also milled into flour. The tree lives for centuries and is legally protected.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
