Faye&Ant Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi, My girls really love pine nuts. Does anyone know if they are they ok to continue having them as a treat Faye x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 They are a good source of protein, but very high in fat I'm afraid, so only give as an occasional treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye&Ant Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thankyou egluntine, I thought as much, they have been having a handful on a daily basis so I will have to definately cut that down to occasionally only! Faye x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Great toasted with grilled courgettes, peppers and goat's cheese! Or in spinach, avocado, bacon and chicken salad! (Ooops, did I just say chicken salad?!) Or with cooked and cooled quinoa, diced pepper, pomegranate, feta cheese, all mixed with a spoonful of harissa paste and some chopped parsley. Oooh, I love pinenuts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 quinoa.... yuk. My son says it tastes like dried bogies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 You don't want to be eating plain quinoa. It's good mixed in with other things though. A bit like couscous in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
