What to know about pine nut
Pine nuts are high in salicylates and high in nickel, but their strangest quirk is pine mouth: a bitter, metallic taste that can appear a day or two after eating and linger for up to two weeks. It is harmless and has nothing to do with allergy, and it is usually traced to one Chinese pine species (Pinus armandii) rather than to how much you ate.
Watch for
- Pine mouth: a lingering bitter or metallic taste that starts 12 to 48 hours after eating and can last one to two weeks, harmless and self-resolving, most often linked to Pinus armandii nuts
- High in salicylates, a trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- High in nickel, worth noting on a low-nickel diet where nuts and seeds are frequent culprits
- Mildly histamine-active, so fresh nuts beat long-opened bags for the histamine sensitive
