FYI…all nut should be kept in the freezer for storage. This will help prevent rancid flavors and pine mouth- yuck!

perhaps its an interesting way to curb your appetite though? if everything tastes metallic you will for sure eat less no?

Wow – I’m in the middle of this experience right now and it’s awful. Only by researching the source have I figured out what caused this (thanks for your blog!).

Unfortunately, I used a LOT of pine nuts in my lunch salads over the past 2 days. Geez I hope this doesn’t last a week. For me, I’m aware of it even when I’m not eating, but I did use a lot. Is anyone sure this is only because the nuts are rancid? Can it happen even if the nuts are okay?

Thanks,
Jane

I’ve had that! I also googled it, but didn’t get beyond the “arthritic, depressed, alcoholic with a bad case of gingivitis and lead poisoning on the verge of heart failure”, because I didn’t realised that it was only when I was eating! Doh! But it went away quite quickly, so I wasn’t too bothered. It was weird though and very unpleasant.

Very interesting! I’d never heard of this! OTOH, I can’t afford pine nuts very often. So maybe it’s better to just stick with walnuts or cashews. I keep all my nuts and seeds in the fridge though, so perhaps I wouldn’t have the problem.

Wow, that’s so crazy!!! I would have never thought it would be from bad pine nuts. Thank goodness for the Internets…

Wow, that is the strangest thing I’ve heard all week. Thanks for the warning, though. Now I know not to chance it with old pine nuts.

I was just wondering if those pine nuts in the pantry were still good. Now I know better than to try and find out. Thanks for the warning

I have some pretty old pine nuts that I’m going to clean out of the pantry as soon as I get home! Yikes!

So sorry this happened to you.
