Pistachios (Pista)

Good pistachios are one of life's simple pleasures. The slight resistance of the shell as it gives way, the satisfying crunch of the nut inside, the rich green colour and that unmistakably pistachio flavour that is like no other nut. These pistachios are selected for their naturally split shells which is a sign of proper ripeness, their vibrant green kernel colour and their full-bodied flavour.

At Noha Harvest we stock raw unsalted pistachios for those who want to use them in cooking or prefer to season them themselves, as well as for those who simply prefer their nuts without added salt.

One of the most protein-rich nuts available with a naturally appealing flavour that makes healthy eating feel effortless.
