Wholesale Raw Pistachios Nuts In shell/Shelled From Iran

The pistachio (Pistacia vera) is a tree of the family of the Anacardiaceae and grows on average to a height of roughly 4–5 m, but can exceed 8–10 m and reach an age of 300 years. Pistachios grow in areas where winter is cool and summers are long and hot. They bloom in April–May and have female and male apetal flowers on different plants. The fruit is a drupe with an oval endocarp and a thin hard shell containing the seed, commonly called “pistachio”, which is of a brilliant green colour beneath a purple skin. The harvest takes place from the end of August to October. The plant fruits every two years and, for this reason, the plantations are laid at different times and in different places so that it can be harvested more or less regularly every year.
