About Pistachio nuts
Pistachio nuts are the edible seeds inside the hard shells of pistachio fruits. Their kernels are green to yellow-green, sometimes with a purplish skin, and have a firm but yielding bite with a distinctive, mildly sweet, savoury flavour.
They are eaten as kernels or in the shell, raw or roasted, and used whole, chopped, or ground in cooking and baking. Retail forms include plain, salted, and seasoned nuts. The shell is not edible, so shell-on product and shelled kernels represent different edible proportions.
