Kaleh Ghouchi (jumbo) Mechanically-Opened Pistachio

08025100

Kaleh Ghouchi (jumbo) Mechanically-Opened Pistachio are dried pistachios that are not naturally opened, but have been mechanically opened by various methods and are available raw or roasted. Kaleh Ghouchi (jumbo) Mechanically-Opened Pistachio is more cost-convenient than natural open Ahmad Aghaei pistachios. Kaleh Ghouchi (jumbo) Mechanically-Opened Pistachio are popular because they are large and have a hazelnut-shaped fruit. It is vulnerable to cold and lack of water and nutrients. This pistachio is harvested in September. It is an early bloomer and for this reason it is more exposed to the risk of late spring cold and the damage caused by it. Despite the abundant harvest of this product in Rafsanjan city, its production volume in Khorasan province has grown significantly in recent years.

Further Details 1

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:

  1. Drastically improved consistency of Aflatoxin test results.  In particular in commercial lots undergoing repeated sampling at different stages of clearance.
  2. Improved quality in terms of physical characteristic specified below:
    1. Uniformity of commercial lot in size
    2. The miniscule presence of foreign material
    3. 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.
