Turkey is one of the leading pistachio producer countries. Turkish pistachios are well known with their rich and distinctive flavor and high quality. The best pistachios in Turkey come from the area around the city of Gaziantep.

Pistachio nuts are not only tasty and fun to eat but also super healthy. These edible seeds  contain healthy fats and are a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants.

Pistachios are always marketed in their in-shell form, roasted and salted, but they can be purchased shelled. They are mainly used as snack and confectionery and used in ice creams.
