About Pistachios

Pistachios are the edible seeds inside the hard shells of pistachio fruits. The kernels are green to yellow-green, sometimes with a purplish skin, and have a firm but yielding texture and a distinctive, mildly sweet, savoury flavour.

They are eaten in the shell or shelled, raw or roasted, and used whole, chopped, or ground in cooking and baking. They are sold plain, salted, or seasoned. Because shells are inedible and processing varies, the product form matters when identifying what is being measured or used.
