Candied Young Pine Cones - Siberian Delicacy by Samsonov 100g / 3.53oz

Very unique! Tastes like what the pine tree smells, very interesting candy. I gifted it to my mother and she gave one to everyone who visited, it was a conversation piece!

Intensely sweet, almost syrupy, and very soft bordering on squishy. Intensely pine flavored and somewhat tannic like wine or tea - the "tastes like a wreath" description is pretty accurate.I'd overall describe it as all of my memories of the holidays as a treat. Definitely a polarizing love-it-or-hate-it item.

OMG!!! 1 bite and I am in my happy place

So different. A special treat. Add a few to plain vanilla ice cream!

An unexpected find on Amazon. The inside of the pinecone is very soft, the outside a little more tree-like. Very unique taste, and certainly a conversation starter. My sister and cousin loved them. They aren't really my favorite, but a fun try.

Tastes exactly as you would expect. Sweet, tender, tiny pinecones. Not personally a fan, a bit overwhelming in terms of the potent pine flavor. I wouldn't eat them right out of the bag, but I think they will be super cute as garnishes on cakes or cupcakes.

I am not aversed to food that is outside my usual pallet. I try to go into any new food with an open mind, and so it was for this.The taste is not unpleasant, nor is it unexpected. These are pinecones; they taste like pine. Shocking, I'm sure. That taste is not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination, pine pairs nicely with a wide varity of flavors, and I'm sure this along side a few shots of vodka would be fine.The issue for me is the texture, which I could not get over. Very soft, sticky, and unpleasant to sink one's teeth into. I'm uncertain if this was a bad batch or if I had simply eaten them incorrectly, but I could not stomach the whole bag, or even more than a couple.But then, I confess, I am not Siberian. This flavor holds no nostalga for me, nor is it one with which I have any history. I can't judge if these were simply a bad execution, or if this treat just isn't for me.Either way, buy this with some caution, or at least with the knowledge that this will be a very atypical treat, to say the least.

I have to say,I enjoy the unusual and strange foods.Eating pine cones was never on the menu. Now,I’m so glad I gave them a try.Its hard to describe the texture.Its one of those foods you have to try for yourself.The Quality and the taste is beyond words.I'm. Sharing these with my family and friends.Everyone needs to try these.Thank you for sharing these amazing pine cones with us.
