Shelled Kurdish Pistachios – Wild Mountain Pistachios, Pistacia Atlantica – 1000 gr

Wild Pistachios, scientifically known as Pistacia atlantica and traditionally called Baneh (بنه) in Persian, are one of nature’s rarest and most treasured nuts — harvested from the remote, mountainous regions of Iran where no commercial farming reaches. These ancient trees grow wild and untamed, nourished only by rainwater and mountain soil, producing small but incredibly nutrient-dense kernels. Unlike cultivated pistachios, Baneh is completely organic by nature, untouched by fertilizers or pesticides, making it a highly sought-after choice for those who value purity and sustainability. The harvesting process is done entirely by hand, often by local foragers with generations of knowledge, preserving both tradition and biodiversity. What sets Wild Pistachios apart is their rich, intense flavor — earthy, slightly tangy, and infused with natural oils that offer a lingering, aromatic finish. Their high oil content makes them not only delicious but also deeply nourishing, packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and powerful phytonutrients. Revered in traditional Iranian medicine for their anti-inflammatory and heart-supportive properties, Baneh is more than a snack — it’s a healthful, heritage-rich ingredient. These pistachios are incredibly versatile: they can be eaten raw, lightly roasted, ground into flavorful pastes, or added to dishes for an authentic touch of wild mountain flavor. Whether used in gourmet cuisine or savored on their own, Wild Pistachios connect you to a legacy of natural abundance, artisanal harvesting, and centuries-old culinary tradition.
