The pistachio tree boasts an ancient heritage, believed to have originated in the interior area of Iran. Dating back thousands of years, historical evidence indicates that its nuts have been enjoyed as a delicacy in Asia since before the time of Christ. Due to Iran's hot and dry climate, the tree flourishes in this region more than anywhere else in the world, giving rise to some of the finest pistachios globally. As a result, Iran has made significant strides in the cultivation, nurturing, and harvesting of pistachios, leading to unparalleled success in this industry.
