Pistachio

Summary

Pistachio (Pistacia vera) is a small, nutrient-rich nut with a slightly sweet, buttery flavor and firm yet tender texture. It is typically sold in the shell but is also commonly available shelled for convenience. Pistachios are typically sold as ready-to-eat snacks or as ingredients in baking, cooking, and confections, and are often roasted and salted to enhance flavor. They are valued for their distinctive green hue and rich nutritional profile, including healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants.
