Pine Nut Pesto

 

BENEFITS:

Pine nuts are good for the digestive system, kidney energy, and also help relieve coughing with mucus.

 

PREPARATION

Wash the nuts clean, about 1/4 to 1/2 lb. Stir-fry them in a pan until they become a light brown. Remove from heat. When cool, eat them like eating peanuts as a snack.
