Pine Mouth

File this one under: You learn something new every day!

Pine nuts are extremely popular in salads, pesto, pastas and pastries, but in some people they can cause a case of what is known as pine mouth. Those people experience a bitter or metallic taste one to three days after consumption.

It's nothing to be worried about because the symptoms normally disappear with no lasting side effects.
