National Pistachio Day: A day to understand the health benefits of a dry fruit

Pistachio Day is one of the best days for all pistachio lovers to indulge in a wonderful snack that is tasty as well as healthy in many respects. If you are not fond of having pistachios, you can gift them to someone who loves having them. Pistachios also work as a flavouring for ice creams, sweets and cakes.

The pistachios came to the US in the 1880s but they have been in the Middle East since Biblical Times. The pistachio tree grows as tall as 20 feet and requires little or no rain but lots of heat. Iran boasts of having 700-year-old pistachio trees. A new tree takes around 7 to 10 years to mature and bear fruit.

Pistachios are majorly grown in California and their shells automatically split when they ripe. Pistachio is known as a smiling nut in the Middle east. Chinese call pistachio as a happy nut. The kernels are eaten whole either roasted or unroasted and salted or unsalted.

The shells of pistachios are beige in colour which are dyed by companies green or red according to consumer demands or if the nuts are not of good quality. You can celebrate this day by consuming pistachios in any form or gifting them to your loved ones.
