Harvesting

Organic pistachio kernels thrive in warm, dry climates like the Mediterranean and the Middle East, where the pistachio tree flourishes. These trees produce beige-hued nuts encased in tough shells, harvested in late summer or early autumn when the kernels are perfectly ripened. Once gathered, the nuts are shelled to reveal the vibrant green kernels, which are carefully dried to maintain their rich flavour and nutrient content.

These pistachio kernels are naturally rich in healthy fats, protein, and fibre, as well as essential nutrients like vitamin B6, phosphorus, and potassium. Their unique flavour and appealing green colour make them a versatile ingredient for sweet and savoury recipes. Whether added to vegetable dishes, blended into pesto, or enjoyed on their own, organic pistachio kernels bring both nutrition and a subtle crunch to your kitchen.

The organic nature of Organic Pistachio Kernels means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Pistachio Kernels in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
