The nutty, creamy, both sweet and savoury (another huge trend!) flavour profile of pistachios means they give a more premium look and taste to your products, whether you’re making chocolate bars, baked goods, drinks or ice cream. With consumer need for comforting, healthful, but delicious treats still growing, pistachio’s novelty is unlikely to wear off any time soon. 

Not only are pistachios attractive and delicious, they’re also lower in fat and higher in nutrients and more sustainable than many other nuts. They’re high in protein and amino acids, as well as vitamins A, E, C, B and K, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium. They also require less water to grow than both almonds and cashews and they produce a third of the CO2 of almonds. 

With both health and the environment being huge deciding factors for consumers right now, the pistachio trend is perfectly timed.
