Did You Know? Pine Nuts Come From Pine Trees Mug

Did You Know? Pine Nuts Come From Pine Trees MugWhen I learned that pine nuts came from pine cones, it blew my mind. What a fun fact. I never would've guessed. So why are they so expensive? I'll tell you now. The process for removing them is actually very difficult and labor intensive. This is the kind of thing that should seem obvious, but you just don't link the two in your head. Pesto and pine trees?? Ma'am what?? Anyways I shared this fact on my Instagram and polled how many people knew this

When I learned that pine nuts came from pine cones, it blew my mind. What a fun fact. I never would've guessed. So why are they so expensive? I'll tell you now. The process for removing them is actually very difficult and labor intensive. This is the kind of thing that should seem obvious, but you just don't link the two in your head. Pesto and pine trees?? Ma'am what?? Anyways I shared this fact on my Instagram and polled how many people knew this fact too and the majority were also unaware!

What I'm saying is that this mug is a conversation starter. It's a public service announcement. One day, you might have a friend over your house, and maybe all of your cups are dirty, and you'll give them this mug full of water and they'll say, "Wow. I had no idea. Is that true?" and you will grin and say, "Yes. Yes it is."

Does it have anything to do with my astrology meme account? No. But I'm a Gemini and I live for trivia. I don't care if a single person buys this mug. Sometimes we commission things we love simply because we want them ourselves.
