綠杉林撿毬果 edible seeds of pines cone 松子







Pinus radiata female (ovulate) cone


松子(英語:pine nut義大利語pinoli)即松科植物的種子,又名松仁松仁子松子仁,可入藥、做菜,炒熟後可作小吃。 平日常食用的松子有從紅松的種子,也有來自義大利石松的種子,其形狀略有不同。

Pine nuts, also called piñón (Spanish: [piˈɲon]), pinoli (Italian: [piˈnɔːli]), or pignoli, are the edible seeds of pines (family Pinaceae, genus Pinus). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, only 29 species provide edible nuts, while 20 are traded locally or internationally[1] owing to their seed size being large enough to be worth harvesting; in other pines, the seeds are also edible but are too small to be of notable value as human food.[1][2][3][4] The biggest producers of pine nuts are ChinaRussiaNorth KoreaPakistan and Afghanistan.[5]

As pines are gymnosperms, not angiosperms (flowering plants), pine nuts are not "true nuts"; they are not botanical fruits, the seed not being enclosed in an ovary which develops into the fruit, but simply bare seeds—"gymnosperm" meaning literally "naked seed" (from Ancient Greekγυμνόςromanizedgymnoslit.'naked' and σπέρμαsperma, 'seed'). The similarity of pine nuts to some angiosperm fruits is an example of convergent evolution.
