Naturally
Sun Dried Pistachio Nuts
Pistachios originated in the Middle
East. They were roasted and salted to add salt to the diet
and preserve the nut in a hot climate. Fortunately in Australia
we don't need to go to this extreme and can enjoy the pistachio
nut closer to its natural state.
Pistachio fruit selected for sun drying
are dehulled and then dried on racks in the sun for 7 days.
This reduces the moisture content to 5-8 percent. The dried
nuts will keep in sealed containers for over 12 months and
do not require refrigeration.
In comparison to kiln dried pistachios,
the naturally sun dried nuts have more colour and flavour,
making them a nutritious snack and perfect for use in cooking.
Our sun dried nuts are available
throughout the year.
When
and Where to Buy
Our sundried pistachios
do not need to be refrigerated. They are packaged as the
split shells, without the pink hull. If kept in an air-tight
container, they can last for 10 - 12 months.
