You bring one indoors, the warmth in your home should dry and cause it to open up soon, then you can get to the delicious pine nuts inside. Alternatively, if youre in a hurry, pop it into the oven on vety low heat to dry it.
You can’t eat them really other than the seeds – you can use these in things like pesto.

>These are pine cones from the pine tree, which have been a real hit during the Christmas season for a few years now. The cones are sold in many well-stocked grocery stores. The pine cone itself is not edible, but inside it grow pine nuts, which are familiar especially in Mediterranean cuisine. The pine tree, which is related to the Finnish spruce, grows in southern Europe.
Like others have said, you can eat the little seeds inside once the cone opens. Considering how pine nuts are expensive as hell, it’s worth a try.
That sounds very cheap price. You eat the seeds, but the seeds are very expensive. At this price, this is probably already a lot cheaper.
You can make them into jam/jelly, honey, tea, syrup, or liquor.
Very carefully
If you’re a moomin!
I’m not sure these are edible – at least not as a whole.
NOMA – the famous restaurant in Copenhagen once upon a time debuted a candied baby pinecone dessert. That was whole baby pinecones, but the soft and fleshy baby version
Supposedly really nice!
Imported from Italy? Real Väinämöinen’s eat them straight off the tree.
Sweden is equally forested but I’ve never heard anyone here eat cones. How common is this in Finland?
You eat those?? Fuck. I’ve been jamming these in the wrong hole.
I once roasted one of those in the oven and then peeled it and collected all the pine seeds. Quite meh.

Eat it raw like a man
I might know a good place for those
Don’t. They’re sold mainly for decor during christmas. There’s a few seeds inside that you can eat (pinjansiemen) if you really want to
I’m pretty sure there are seeds inside.
Euronpäivät!
Never tried one, but I’d try low heat 75-125c in oven for 30min to an hour
There are many recipes for these. Just google it.
They are mostly for decoration.
To use the seeds (pinjansiemen) you can wait for them to dry and pop open. If you want to make the process faster place them in a low heat oven.
But it’s usually much easier and cheaper to just buy the [seeds in a bag](https://www.k-ruoka.fi/kauppa/tuote/pirkka-pinjansiemen-100g-6410405209658).
[Here are some recipes](http://www.parhaatruokablogit.fi/kategoriat/pinjansiemen) involving the seeds.
Ribbed for pleasure
