Pistachio Kernel 12 oz

Description

Pistachio kernels (maghz-e pesteh) are pistachios with the shell already removed: the green, purple-blushed nut and nothing else, so every ounce is ready to eat or cook with. This 12 oz tub holds a single ingredient, raw pistachio.

Shelled kernels save the cracking whenever a recipe calls for a cup of pistachios. Chop them over saffron rice and sholeh zard, grind them for baklava and cookie fillings, blend them into pistachio butter, or snack on them straight from the tub.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these pistachio kernels raw or roasted?

The label lists one ingredient: raw pistachio. They come shelled and ready to use. For a deeper, roasted flavor, toast them for a few minutes in a dry pan, stirring so they don’t scorch.

What is the difference between pistachio kernels and in-shell pistachios?

Kernels are the same nut with the shell removed, so you pay for nut rather than shell and they go straight into recipes. In-shell pistachios, like our Roasted & Salted Pistachio 11 oz, are the better pick for snacking and ajil.

How should I store pistachio kernels?

Keep them in an airtight container away from heat and light. Shelled nuts are more exposed to air than in-shell ones, so refrigerate or freeze them if you won’t finish the tub within a few weeks.
