Science - Agriculture / BRAZILIAN PINE TREE TERMINOLOGY
Portuguese term or phrase: PINHA
O pinhão é a semente do pinheiro brasileiro e tem um ciclo interessante até chegar à nossa mesa invernal. Existem pinheiros com flores masculinas e femininas, as chamadas pinhas que, na primavera, tem seu pólen levado pelo vento para fecundar, dois anos antes, o que será a semente comestível, o pinhão. Assim, o pinhão que comemos agora em 2012 não são os frutos, mas as sementes contidas no interior da pinha, a florescência do pinheiro, fecundadas na primavera do ano 2000. IF PINHÂO IS PINE CONE, WHAT IS PINHA IN ENGLISH.
