Name: Pistachio

Other Names: Pistacia vera L, Anacardiaceae

Description: The common name of Pistachio is Pistache. The plants are dioecious, with separate male and female trees. The flowers are apetalous and unisexual, and borne in panicles. The fruit is a drupe, containing an elongated seed (a nut in the culinary sense, but not a true botanical nut) with a hard, whitish shell and a striking kernel which has a mauvish skin and light green flesh, with a particular characteristic flavour.

When the fruit ripens, the husk changes from green to an autumnal yellow/red and the shells split partially open (see photo). This happens with an audible pop.

The Super Heart-Healthy Snack. Delicious and good-for-you, pistachios are nature's super heart-healthy snack. Nutrient dense, full of fiber and antioxidants, pistachios give you more bang per calories than any other nut. That's one smart health nut. The pistachio tree is native to western Asia and Asia Minor, from Syria to the Caucasus and Afghanistan. Archaeological evidence in Turkey indicate the nuts were being used for food as early as 7,000 B.C. Pistachio nuts are considered one of the prime edible nuts, along with almonds, macadamias and cashews.
