Fun fact: pistachios aren’t nuts. They are actually the edible seed of the pistachio tree fruit. However many still consider them a tree nut in the culinary world and also when dealing with nut allergies. Pistachios are not only delicious to snack on, but they also add a unique and flavorful twist to a wide range of dishes. From savory main courses to sweet desserts, the versatility of pistachios makes them a favorite ingredient in many cuisines around the world. The following are pistachio recipes that show wonderful ways to incorporate pistachios into your desserts and meals.
