These pistachios are known for their large size and almond like shape. Akbari pistachios are considered among the most expensive Iranian pistachios and are typically Grade 1 and suitable for export.

Pistachio Size: For calculating the pistachio size you need a digital scale. We separate 142 grams of pistachios and divide them into groups of 5. Now we call each bunch of 5 pistachios 1 ounce. By counting the number of bunches of 5, you can calculate the number of ounces of pistachios.
For example, if you had 26 bunches of 5, you can say that your pistachios are 26 ounces. The smaller the number of bunches, which is the pistachio ounce, shows that our pistachios were bigger and the fewer pistachios are in 142 grams.

Diminished Aflatoxin Risk Pistachios (DARP):
DARPs are different from normal pistachios traded internationally in two respects:
- Drastically improved consistency of Aflatoxin test results. In particular in commercial lots undergoing repeated sampling at different stages of clearance.
- Improved quality in terms of physical characteristic specified below:
- Uniformity of commercial lot in size
- The miniscule presence of foreign material
- The good appearance of pistachios being devoid of colored, deformed and unripe nuts
Aria Export can accept responsibility of passing defined sampling and testing control regimes in Iran or abroad. This control regime can be based on inspections from Health Authorities in entry points or final buyer’s premises by an independent inspection team. Eventually this control regime can be based on any independent inspection team at origin.
