About Pistachio nut

A pistachio nut is the edible seed inside the hard shell of the pistachio fruit. The kernel is green to yellow-green, sometimes with a purplish skin, and has a firm but yielding bite and a distinctive, mildly sweet, savoury flavour.

Pistachios are eaten as kernels or in the shell, raw or roasted, and are also used ground or chopped in cooking and baking. Products may be salted, roasted, or otherwise seasoned. The shell is inedible and should be distinguished from the edible kernel when describing portions.
