What is Pistachio?
IRANIAN PISTACHIO
Iran is the world's leading producer of pistachios, accounting for about 80% of global production. Pistachios are grown in the mountainous regions of Iran, where the climate is ideal for their cultivation. The main pistachio-producing provinces in Iran are Kerman, Yazd, and Khorasan Razavi.
This abundance of pistachios, coupled with Iran's unique soil and climate, has resulted in Iranian pistachios being widely recognized for their superior quality, flavor, and nutritional value. While other countries, such as the United States, Turkey, and China, also produce pistachios, Iranian pistachios stand out due to their unique characteristics:
Why Iranian Pistachio?
Iranian Pistachio Varieties

Akbari Pistachio
Akbari pistachios are the largest and most prized type of Iranian pistachio. They are characterized by their elongated, almond-shaped form and vibrant green color. Akbari pistachios are known for their rich, buttery flavor and smooth, delicate skin.

AhmadAghaei Pistachio
Ahmad Aghaei pistachios are another popular variety, renowned for their medium size and elongated shape. They have a slightly darker green hue than Akbari pistachios and possess a slightly sweeter, tangier flavor. Ahmad Aghaei pistachios are often used in culinary applications, adding a unique flavor to desserts, salads, and savory dishes.

Fandoghi pistachios are smaller than Akbari and Ahmad Aghaei pistachios, with a round to oval shape. They have a pale green color and a slightly bitter, nutty flavor. Fandoghi pistachios are often used in salted or roasted forms, making them a popular snack option.
Jumbo Pistachio
05.
Kaleh Qouchi Pistachio
Kalleh Ghouchi pistachios are the largest pistachio variety, often referred to as “jumbo” pistachios. They are elongated and have a slightly curved shape. Kalleh Ghouchi pistachios have a deep green color and a rich, buttery flavor. They are considered a luxury pistachio and are often used as a garnish or in high-end confections.
Size or Ounce of Pistachio
the size or ounce of the pistachio is also an important criterion in the quality and purity of the pistachio. Pistachios, depending on their type (Akbari, Kaleh Ghoochi, Ahmad Aghaei, etc.), have different ounces, and the lower the ounce of the product, the higher the quality and purity of the product. To find the ounce of each pistachio, simply weigh 142 grams of pistachios and then count them 5 grains at a time. Whatever number is obtained is considered the ounce of that pistachio. For example, from 142 grams of pistachios that we weighed, 120 pistachios came out. We divide 120 pistachios by 5, which becomes: 24, the ounce of this type of pistachio is 24.
18 to 20: Very large, 20 to 22: Extra large, 22-24: Large, 24-26: Medium, 26-28: Small Above, 28: Very small
