Ace cant say I have ever eaten pine nuts au naturel but I have just sat down with a plate of food with pesto in it, 1 of the main ingredients pine nuts. Going to be paranoid now.

I used to eat pine nuts quite often, then last year, noticed some packs tasted 'off'. They were Chinese. I think any country who will contaminate baby food should be completely avoided when it comes to food purchases.
maybe when my son says he cant eat pesto as it makes him feel sick afterwards he is actually correct he eats all other pasta dishes so i thought he was making a fuss about nothing.
I suffered this a couple of months ago too, after eating pine nuts. I also Googled and found this info - I'd never had trouble eating pine nuts before so I put it down to a bad batch. It was a truly horrible, bitter taste that just wouldn't go away.
Good news was the taste went away after about 4 days.
I'm a vegetarian and Pine Nuts make a considerable contribution to my diet and as a consequence I've eaten them for years. And I have to say that it's not something I've ever come across. But then I dry fry them first as I think they taste better that way. I wonder if that makes a difference??

AAAahhhhh that explains the funny after taste I had a few weeks ago. I have no fillings so couldn't work out why I had a metallic after taste and as I was on holiday I assumed it was because I wasn't used to the food!

My grown up daughter is suffering from it as we speak. she has eaten nothing for days. all she can do is drink water and Green tea (which is gross in itself!!).
She is also suffering from tonsilitis, so the problem with the pine nuts is really slowing her recovery.
She only discovered why she had such an awful taste after looking on the internet. she was sure it was not from the tonsilitis. She'd had a Chinese meal just before she got ill, so is under the assumption that one of the ingredients must have been Pine Nuts. she has had Pine Nuts by themselves in the past with no ill effect.
I have just sent an email to the Dept. of Health about them as I think there should be somhow of making people aware of the possible problem.

I'd just like to stand up for China and say that the 'country' does not contaminate baby food - greedy and scrupulous individuals do. No need to tar a country full of people with the same brush.
That aside, the pine-mouth thing is pretty weird. I've scoffed loads of pine nuts recently, no problems...
Hi to all the unfortunate.
I also have this rank taste in the back of my mouth every time I eat. I had a few handfulls of Morrisons own brand pine nuts, although it says these are packaged in the UK the after ringing thier customer services they won’t disclose where it get’s the pine nuts from.
I think it would be an for us all to put down what stores we bought our pine nuts from so that less and less of us have to go through this again.
