Chilgoza, also called pine nuts or neoza, are the edible seeds of the Chilgoza pine that grows in the dry Himalayan belt. They are slim, buttery and naturally sweet, and traditionally enjoyed in winter. Eat them plain, add to kheer, pulao or mithai, or serve in festive gift boxes. Because chilgoza harvest is labour-intensive and supply is limited, freshness matters: ours is seasonal stock packed in sealed pouches. Store in an airtight jar in a cool place, or refrigerate in warm weather.
