Markedly longer and thinner than the Mediterranean pine nut, it is sold roasted in the shell across Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India. The cones give a heavy crop only about every third year.

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.
