FAQs

Why are pistachios green?
The vibrant green colour comes from chlorophyll pigments retained in the kernel. Intensity varies with variety and ripeness — a brighter green indicates a younger harvest with higher chlorophyll content.

What is the difference between pistachio kernels and pistachios in shell?
Kernels are shelled, ready-to-eat nuts — ideal for cooking, baking, and garnishing. In-shell pistachios are for snacking and are typically roasted and salted. The kernel is the same in both, but shelled kernels are raw and unsalted, making them far more versatile.

Can I make pistachio butter?
Yes — blend 200g pistachio kernels in a food processor for 8–10 minutes until completely smooth. Add a pinch of salt. The result is a vibrant green nut butter with a distinctive flavour — excellent on toast or swirled into yoghurt.

Are these gluten-free?
Yes — pistachios are naturally gluten-free. Packed in a facility handling tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, and gluten-containing grains.

How should I store pistachio kernels?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening and use within 3 months for best freshness.
