Pistachios

What are Pistachios?

Pistachios are fruits often referred to as nuts which fall off pistachio trees. [1]



History

Pistachio was first cultivated in Western Asia. It reached the Mediterranean world by way of central Iran, where it has long been an important crop. Although known to the Romans, the pistachio nut appears not to have reached the Mediterranean or most of the Near East in any quantity before medieval times. More recently pistachio has been cultivated in California (first commercial harvest in 1976) and Australia. [1]
