Description

The Persian pistachios (also called “Pesteh” in Farsi), is known worldwide due to its quality, unrivalled taste and maximum nutrition and the Kerman province in Iran is one of the best places in the world for growing pistachios and provides over half of Iran’s pistachios production.

Turkish Antep Pistachios are grown in Turkey and are well known for being very high in quality. If you are a pistachio connoisseur, you will want to get your hands on some of these pistachios. People love these Turkish Antep Pistachios because they are naturally quite good for you.

The hull of the pistachio is called the epicarp. It is about 1/16 of an inch thick and adheres tightly to the hard-inner shell until the nut is ripe. Take your thumb and forefinger and squeeze the nut. If the epicarp has separated from the hard-inner shell, the epicarp will easily come apart and can be peeled off.
