Tasty Facts About Pistachios
These distinctly green nuts come from Central Asia where they grow on trees in warm, dry areas. They belong to the cashew family. Before ripening, the nut has a cream-colored shell. Once it matures, the shell shifts to a darker yellow and splits open. Inside is a mauve skin with green fruit.
Over the millennia, pistachios been prized as luxuries by the rich and powerful. They were used as food in the Bronze Age at least 6,750 years ago. It was the Romans who brought the nuts from Persia to Europe in the first century of our common era. Now they grow in North Africa and Southern Europe, too.
Today, pistachios are used in delicious dishes and desserts and their color influences fashion and art. And if you’re curious about pistachio butter, it’s super easy to make at home if you have a food processor or blender and an oven.
