Pistachio nuts, also known as Pistacia vera, are a highly cherished culinary nut grown on small trees native to Syria, Iran, Turkey, Greece, and other regions of the Middle East. These nuts are high in antioxidants, unsaturated fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and carotenoids, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Pistachios need cold winters of at least 45℉ for dormancy, but not too cold. Their green kernels have a distinct and widely-appreciated flavor, making them a popular choice in ice cream, baked goods, salads, and as a snack or dessert nut. These trees are tolerant of saline soil, but require long, hot summers to properly ripen. Commercial production centers include Iran, Turkey, California, and Australia. Try these nutritious nuts today and experience their delicious taste and health benefits for yourself!
