I believe they are actually the seed of a pine tree rather than a nut proper.
You can substitute almonds for the pine nuts- some people even use walnuts.


Have you tired mail order? Baker's Catalogue sells them. I've purchased
stuff from them in the past and was always satisfied with the products.
