From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pistachio
A salted and roasted pistachio nut with its shell. The modern pistachio nut was first cultivated in Western Asia. Pistachio trees (Pistacia vera) are planted in orchards, and take around seven to ten years to reach significant production. The kernels are often eaten whole and are also used in foods such as ice cream.Photo credit: Muhammad Mahdi Karim
