Luxury from Nature
Pistachios are an ingredient with a pronounced aroma and compact texture, highly prized in the food industry for their nutritional profile and visual appeal. Once regarded as a symbol of prosperity in traditional Middle-Eastern cuisine, pistachios are now recognised as a rich source of protein, healthy fats, fibre, and vitamin B6. They offer consistent quality in processing – whether in-shell or shelled – while displaying excellent resistance to oxidation and long-term storage.
Native to Central Asia and the Middle East, pistachios are now cultivated across multiple climate zones. Based on average export data from the past five years, the leading exporters of in-shell pistachios are the United States (53 %), Iran (26 %), and China (6 %).
