Chilgoza / Pine Nut
Roasted Pine nuts are edible seeds extracted from pine cones, particularly from species like the Chilgoza Pine (Pinus gerardiana) found in the Himalayan region. These seeds are encased in a hard shell, requiring careful extraction. Chilgoza is known for its unique, buttery taste and is often used as a snack, in desserts, or to enhance the flavor of savory dishes.
