Pistachios

Green kernels, papery purple skins and a flavour that stands up in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Character

A little colour. A distinct crunch.

Forms

In-shell or shelled kernels

Choose with purpose

Match the cut and preparation to your intended use.

At home in the kitchen

Use chopped pistachios to finish a dessert or a warm grain dish. Shelled kernels save preparation time; in-shell pistachios make sense when the shell is part of the eating experience.

What to look for

Compare salted and unsalted packs carefully. For recipes where colour matters, inspect a representative sample of the kernels rather than relying on packaging artwork alone.

For a wholesale brief

Start with the intended use, preferred form, quantity and packaging needs. Grade, sample approval, availability, pricing and supply terms need to be agreed separately; this guide is not a statement of stock availability.

Before you eat

This is a tree nut. Avoid it if you have the relevant allergy, and read the pack allergen statement. For dietary needs or medical conditions, use individual advice from a qualified professional.
