Pistachios are the show-offs of the nut world. They’re green, they’re pretty, and they make everything look fancier. But they’re also a reminder that the best things in life take time—like seven to ten years for a tree to produce a full crop. Yikes.
So, the next time you crack one open, give a little nod to Iran, California, Turkey, and all the other places that make it possible. And maybe save a few for me, please.
Now go grab a handful. You’ve earned it. And if you drop one on the floor? Just pick it up. No one’s judging. (Okay, I am. But only a little.)
