Fandoqi pistachios, also known as round pistachios, are a popular Iranian variety prized for their small, round shape, affordability, and delicious flavor. Resembling hazelnuts, they have light-colored shells with a high natural split rate and vibrant green kernels with a reddish hue. Their mild, nutty sweetness makes them versatile for snacking, baking, and cooking.
These pistachios undergo a detailed processing cycle to ensure quality. Harvested in late summer or early autumn, the nuts are immediately hulled to maintain the shell’s bright color. After thorough washing, they are dried to reduce moisture and enhance storage life. They are then sorted by size and quality, with optional roasting and flavoring for added taste. Finally, Fandoqi pistachios are packed in airtight containers to preserve freshness.
Nutritionally dense, Fandoqi pistachios are rich in proteins, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin B6. Their smaller size, combined with affordability and rich taste, makes them a staple choice for consumers and a significant export product in global markets..
