The tree of pistachios has a two-year cycle (it means that a plentiful harvest is followed the next year by a scarce harvest and so on). It has no limits in terms of age as what concerns its reproductive power. The fruits have to be cleaned once harvested, then selected and toasted as quickly as possible.

Pistachios are rich in vitamin A, B1 (tiamin), B2, B3, B6, C. They contain iron, phosphorous, manganese, potassium and copper. Thanks to the high content of vitamin E, especially gamma-tocopherol, pistachios help the natural protection of the cardiovascular system. They naturally increase the health of smokers’ heart.
