Where Do Pistachios Come From?
Bet you always want to know this stuff. We did.
California and Iran are two of the larger producers of pistachios. California is reported to have close to 100,000 acres of pistachio trees that can produced upwards of 160 million pounds of the stuff.
The pistachio has been around for almost 10,000 years. The Bible references the pistachio as a gift from the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon.
How are Pistachios Processed?
Quickly! Pistachios must be processed within 12 to 24 hours of picking. This entails hulling and drying the nuts. Why Red? some sellers process them in a red color for no other reason then people got used to seeing red shells rather then their natural shells.

Oatmeal Orange Mini Muffins
This easy mini-muffin recipe also works great when making regular-size muffins. Just divide batter between 12 standard-size muffin tins (3 mini muffins = 1 regular size).

Add Gourmet Pistachios to Your Trail Mix for the Perfect Afternoon Snack
I think "Trail Mix" is a name that is so much more appealing than “Gorp.” The word “Gorp” goes back to the beginning of the 20th Century and is an acronym for granola, oats, raisins and peanuts. Whatever the combination, trail mix is a snack that is high on energy and nutrition. It is made of mostly healthy foods such as berries, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, and in recent times, candy. The ancient nomads ate trail mix. Theirs even included dried meat. Trail mix is easy to keep on hand as a healthy alternative for a snack. New Zealanders as well as Australians call this mixture “Scroggin,” which gives the name trail mix an even more appetizing sound.
