Pistachio (Pistacia vera) is a nutrient-rich dry fruit native to Central Asia and the Middle East, known for its distinctive green kernels encased in a naturally splitting beige shell. It has a mildly sweet, buttery flavor and a firm yet tender texture. Pistachios are prized both as a wholesome snack and a versatile ingredient in sweet and savory dishes.

They are an excellent source of healthy fats, plant-based protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a favorite among health-conscious consumers. Available in in-shell and shelled forms, pistachios are used in confectionery, bakery products, ice creams, gourmet dishes, and nut mixes worldwide.
