Green pistachios are voluntarily harvested earlier to assure a bright green kernel internal color.

The early harvest causes reduced yield per hectare which is the main reason for their higher value, but allow its unique dark or bright green color in comparison with any other nut. The higher fat content emphasizes also their flavor for high quality confectionary, pastry and ice-cream industry.

GPPK are peeled (shell and skin are removed) allowing its natural and unique bright green color to appear. The product is graded by color using electronic equipment within a 4 different grades of greens.

Raw pistachio kernel production consists in shelling closed pistachio, mature or immature, depending if kernel external appearance or kernel internal color is targeted. Our process includes latest laser and optic technologies to eliminate any risk of natural contaminants and any foreign material.

Kernels are used mainly in snack, confectionary, backing, ice cream and home backing, and as ingredient in other food industries.

Naturally Open In-Shell Pistachios: Naturally split on the tree, with a kernel content of 52 to 55%, this product is used purely as a snack, raw or roasted salted and flavored in the shell. Open in-shell pistachios are mostly exported as raw dried, in bulk. Raw dried pistachios have a two year shelf life, if stored in relatively dry conditions.
