Why are pine nuts so expensive?
Pine nuts are so expensive because a pine cone takes about three years from flowering to maturity, and the output is extremely limited, so it is extremely precious.

In addition, the workers risked their lives to climb a pine tree more than ten meters high and knocked down the pine cone. Because of the limited conditions, the quantity knocked down at a time will not be too much, and the labor cost is also high. Pine nuts, also known as pine nuts, pine nuts and sea pine nuts, are the seeds of common nuts such as Korean pine and are rich in fat, protein and carbohydrates.

There are Brazil pine nuts, Northeast pine nuts and pine nuts in China, among which pine nuts are mainly from Yunguichuan mountain area. When eating pine nuts, if you don't open your mouth and have a good mouth, you usually bite and eat, so you may not worry too much. If your mouth is not good, you can take pliers to clamp it open.
