What Is the Secret Behind the Delicious and Distinctive Flavor of Iranian Pistachios?
Iranian pistachios are globally well-known, so you have probably heard about them. But, what are the reasons behind this popularity? Let’s investigate some of these reasons.
One good point about Iranian pistachios is their wide range of variety. There are four main commercial varieties of pistachio in Iran, Round, Jumbo, Long, and super long. Each of them has its own characteristics that make them special.
So far, Round pistachios were the most cultivated and exported pistachio type in Iran. But now, it seems that long pistachio types are going to take that place. Long pistachios are widely being planted in different regions of Iran, Both in the new pistachio orchards that have been established recently in the north and even in the southern parts.
The question is can Iranian long pistachios turn into the most exported pistachio type among other varieties? Yes of course. One of the unique characteristics of Iranian long pistachio types that make them so popular is their luxurious appearance. This variety is categorized among the lux nuts in the world, and that is why it has many fans.
Today, Pistachio trees are cultivated in different parts of the world, and The United States is the biggest pistachio producing country. Yet, Iranian pistachios have always been the first choice for many nations and countries all around the world. WHY? It’s because of two important factors; their unique flavor and luxurious appearance.
One important factor that makes Iranian pistachio an invincible rival in the competitive pistachio industry is their flavor. Iranian pistachios are still considered as the most delicious available pistachio nuts in the global markets. Truly, what makes them so delicious?
The main reason is the high content of unsaturated fat (healthy fats for human body) in Iranian pistachios. This is due to the proper cultivation condition in Iran and the high-temperature difference between day and night. As these pistachios are very oily, they are heat resistant, and can be roasted at high temperatures. Roasting Iranian pistachios at high temperatures enhance the taste and smell of the nuts, and you can experience a whole new taste.
