Foul taste in the mouth linked to pine nuts

[Russell]

We have suffered from this bad taste for some time time now and eventually through some determined googling found links to eating pine nuts.  Anyone else noticed this?

Apparantly the nuts oxidise easily and this causes the taste - not harmful though just very unpleasant.

No, and we eat quite a lot of pine nuts. And pesto.

That paper you link to seems to imply that it was old/oxidised pine nuts specifically from China, though it looks a bit speculative to me.

Interesting stuff though.  Thanks for posting it. Where did your pine nuts come from ?

[clarion]

Interesting.  I've never heard that before.  I used to eat pine nuts regularly, especially in pesto, though I wouldn't say it was a lot, though I didn't experience this.

Julian Graves mainly, but also occasionally from Sainsburys, but country of orign; I don't know.

This page is interesting mainly for the comments posted.

Roger Hyam » Bitter taste after eating for days - caused by pine nuts?

I find you get the occasional bad pine nut which leaves a funny taste for a minute, but not for days. 

[border-rider]

It was the idea that the effect kicks in 2 days later (as that paper suggests) that I found interesting.

If that's so then it's possibly a metabolic breakdown product, or even damage caused by one, that's the issue.  That's quite worrying.  It does seem to be linked to "pine nuts" of a different type than usual

Who else read this as "Foul taste in the mouth linked to my nuts".

Just me, then.
