The Dried Fruits and the Italian Language

Imagine : you
wake up one day and there is no
more manufacturing food, so you have to
eat the food you find in nature
I would
suffer a bit without pasta and pizza but there are some very good things that I
could eat. I am a very greedy of dried fruit = frutta secca
and I think I would make a binge of pine nuts= pinoli. The pine nuts are used for so many
things: making cakes, make pesto and lots of recipes. They are also tasty eaten
alone. Very tasty and rich in omega 3
are the walnuts= noci . I’m used to eating two each morning and
I like them a lot. What about the the almonds= mandorle
and the hazelnuts= nocciole?
All of
these would give us a lot of calories
and would sate us enough if we were to sort out the situation with the natural food.
Then the peanuts = arachidi...
you've never tried with the crodino? Spectacular. The pistachios = pistacchi? The pistachio ice
cream is delicious but we can eat them alone and they are so tasty! So if you
are in Italy here are the names, to recognize the dried fruits and believe me: it
is very good!
walnut= noce
mandorla= almond
nocciola=helzenut
arachide=peanut
pistacchio=pistachios
pinolo = pine nut
