There are two ways to prepare normal pistachio kernels.
In the first way, the kernels are obtained by breaking the shells of different types of pistachios (closed-shell pistachios) such as Ahmad Aghaei and Fandoghi.
In the second method, the kernels are obtained extracting them from the shells. The kernel is the only edible part of this valuable nut, and it is recommended to store it in the refrigerator at -5 degrees Celsius.
The skin color of this delicious kernel is brownish-purple, which adheres to the greenish-yellow nut.
Normal pistachio kernels have numerous applications in the food and confectionary industries including culinary, bakery, finger food, and dessert making. Pistachio kernels are combined with other ingredients to create nutritious and tasteful recipes.
Normal pistachio kernels are rich in protein, antioxidants, calcium, sodium, and fiber, which contribute to overall body health. These kernels are heart-friendly and promote cardiovascular well-being.
Normal Pistachio kernels can be obtained from various types of pistachios cultivated in the south of Iran. Harvesting takes place from September to October.
