Introducing and Buying Akbari Pistachio Kernels
As introduced earlier, an Akbari pistachio kernel is simply the shelled version of an Akbari pistachio, possessing all of its signature qualities. The Akbari pistachio is world renowned for its long, slender shape. While not particularly wide, its popularity stems from its elegant and beautiful elongated form. In Iran, this variety is also famously known as the "Abdollahi" pistachio.
Among the two main categories of pistachios (round and long), the Akbari's stretched appearance places it firmly in the long, almond shaped category. It is a late ripening variety that consumes less water, which is why many farmers prefer to cultivate it.

Akbari pistachio kernels are in high demand across American, European, and Asian countries. Major export destinations include Europe, China, India, and Gulf countries like the UAE and Qatar.
The inner kernel of the Akbari pistachio has a yellowish hue, and its thin seed coat (the skin on the kernel) is a relatively dark, bone cream color.

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.
