February 26 is World Pistachio Day. A young crop in the United States, worldwide the pistachio has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Pistachios are even referenced in the Bible.
Pistachios in the United States were first harvested in the 1930s. Prior to California's entrance into planting pistachios, the green nut was primarily imported from Iran, and then dyed red to cover the imperfections in their shells.
Pistachios are nutritious, providing cardiovascular and weight management support, partly because in-shell nuts have been shown to help us eat less.
I was eating pistachios when I chose the name for this site. The name Political Pistachio comes from the fact that pistachios primarily come out of the Middle East, China, and the United States. . . the same places the nuttiest politics comes out of - which means that worldwide politics are really nothing more than political pistachios.
Personally, I lean towards California pistachios, and I am eating some right now.
Happy World Pistachio Day.
