Morrisons Pine Nuts 100g

I bought the Morrisons Pine Nuts (100g) with grand visions of pesto, roasted veggie salads, and sprinkling them over everything like I was auditioning for a cooking show. What I didn’t anticipate was how these tiny, nutty gems would lead to a series of culinary escapades that blurred the line between “fancy cooking” and “accidental chaos.”The Encounter:The packaging is simple but practical—resealable to keep the pine nuts fresh for those of us who can’t commit to using them all in one go. The nuts themselves are plump, golden, and surprisingly aromatic, with a rich, nutty scent that whispers, “Toast me, I dare you.”Naturally, I started with the classic: pesto. As I toasted the pine nuts in a pan, the scent filled the kitchen with the kind of magic that makes you feel like a chef. Unfortunately, I got a little overconfident and left them unattended for 30 seconds too long. Cue the dramatic moment where I rescued the nuts just before they transformed into charred sadness. Lesson learned: pine nuts demand your undivided attention.Review:Pros:High-Quality Flavor: Fresh, nutty, and slightly buttery, they add a depth of flavor to any dish.Perfectly Sized: 100g is just enough for a few recipes without worrying about leftovers going stale.Versatile: Great for pesto, salads, baked goods, or even snacking straight from the pack (don’t judge me).Resealable Pack: Keeps them fresh and prevents accidental spills when you’re cooking in a rush.Evenly Toasts: Each nut is plump and evenly sized, making toasting a breeze—when supervised.Cons:Requires Careful Toasting: They go from golden perfection to burnt despair faster than you can say “pine nut.”Pricey for Their Size: Pine nuts are a luxury ingredient, but the flavor is worth the occasional splurge.Hard to Share: Once toasted, they’re so delicious that sharing becomes a test of willpower.Unexpected Adventures:After the pesto incident, I tried tossing them over a simple roasted vegetable medley. It was an instant transformation—suddenly, my dinner looked like it belonged in a glossy cookbook. Later, I added them to a batch of cookies on a whim, which resulted in a unique but strangely addictive snack.The real surprise came when my toddler snuck a handful from the counter and declared, “These are magic beans!” They then proceeded to plant one in the garden, which means I’m now nervously waiting to see if Morrisons has secretly unlocked the secrets of beanstalks.Final Thoughts:The Morrisons Pine Nuts (100g) are a kitchen must-have for anyone looking to elevate their cooking with minimal effort. They’re versatile, flavorful, and just the right size for experimenting without going overboard. Whether you’re making pesto, adding crunch to a salad, or warding off the toddler’s garden ambitions, these pine nuts deliver.Would I recommend them? Absolutely. 5 stars—for quality, flavor, and their uncanny ability to make you feel like a chef (even if you’re just winging it). Bonus tip: Always toast them under close supervision—burnt pine nuts might smell dramatic, but your dinner deserves better! 🌿✨

Pine nuts are fabulous and add extra flavour to warm salad, pasta dishes etc, but the price is getting a bit much
