Most likely from China and can give you "Pine Mouth". https://www.britbuyer.co.uk/chinese-vs-italian-pine-nuts/ “Pine Mouth” is a condition that occurs a few days after eating a specific type of Chinese pine nut. This is suspected to be the Pinus armandii species from the Chinese white pine. It is not known if the condition is caused by the pine nut itself or the chemicals used in the extraction process. Within about 48 hours of eating these pine nuts, you get a long-lasting foul bitter taste in your mouth for several days or weeks. It affects everything you eat and drink. In 2013, the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology published findings of their tests on pine nuts following complaints in the USA about ‘Pine Mouth Syndrome’. They found “no clear evidence of an underlying medical cause or common trigger” other than the correlation with the consumption of the ChinesePinus armandii species.

Evergrande Situation
ExpatOilWorker replied to dj230's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Although China is big, it isn't that big and they clearly have over-build. Government figures show that about 1.6 million acres of residential floor space were under construction at the end of last year. This was roughly equivalent to 21,000 towers with the floor area of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. https://businesshala.com/beyond-evergrande-chinas-property-market-faces-a-5-trillion-reckoning/ -
