Where do you find pine nuts, on a male pine tree? Are the walnuts just as good?walnuts are just as goodand with the pine nuts you can find them in the italian food section or gorment section of gorcry store.Male pine tree I don't care who you are that's funny right there but back to the topicPine nuts are the edible seeds of pines (family Pinaceae, genus Pinus). About 20 species of pine produce seeds large enough to be worth harvesting; in other pines the seeds are also edible, but are too small to be of value as a human food.here are a few photosPine Nuts source googleStone pine source wikipediaI would ask Rob more about pine nuts and what pine tree he would reconmend.
