In the Kitchen:

Pistachio nuts offer a wide range of possibilities in the kitchen. They are commonly savored as a wholesome snack. Another frequent application is utilizing the oil extracted from these seeds. Pistachios are versatile ingredients, gracing desserts, salads, meat dishes, and sauces with their unique flavor and texture. Cakes, marzipans, and pistachio-infused ice cream are particularly delightful. Moreover, pistachios can be used to enhance jellies, puddings, and as a filling for strudels. In Middle Eastern cuisine, the famous baklava takes center stage, featuring layers of chopped pistachios and almonds drizzled with honey for a truly indulgent treat.
