Harvesting and Production Process

Pistachios grow on deciduous trees primarily in arid and semi-arid regions. The harvesting and processing follow these key steps:

• Harvesting: Pistachios are hand-picked or mechanically shaken from trees when the hulls begin to split naturally, indicating ripeness.
• Hulling & Drying: Immediately after harvesting, pistachios undergo hulling to remove the outer fleshy covering, followed by careful drying to lower moisture content and prevent mold development.
• Sorting & Grading: The nuts are sorted by size, color, and quality. Kernels may be shelled, cleaned, and graded for uniformity.
• Packing & Storage: The raw or shelled pistachios are packaged in moisture-proof, food-safe materials designed to preserve freshness during transport and storage.
