Monkey puzzle. I found monkey puzzle pine nuts for the first time. I went to collect them under several different trees. There are slight differences in the size of the nuts. There is also differences in taste.

Some tasted ok and some really nice raw. Fried in a pan makes them taste even better but if you leave them too long they turn hard. I didn't try boiling them in water yet.

In the neighbouring village there is a huge female tree that the owner wants to chop down.

I am personnally not at all worried about this tree becoming rare or extinct.

In brittany alone there are hundreds if not thousands of monkey puzzle trees.

Large tree nearby.
