Description

Seeds of the Siberian pine can be eaten raw or cooked. This tree species serves as an important local food source in Siberia and China, due to the rich seeds that have a delicious flavor with a hint of turpentine. These seeds are approximately 10 mm by 8 mm in size. During the processing of the wood, a vanillin aroma is released as a byproduct of other resins. Additionally, the Siberian pine can be utilized for carbon farming, which means that carbon is stored in agricultural land. This tree species also produces oil with proteins that can be used as a staple food.
