The high levels of Vitamin B6 in pistachios help in the formation of amino acids. Amino acid, in turn develops amines that act as neurotransmitters. Vitamin B6 also synthesizes myelin, which forms an insulating cover around the nerve fiber for proper transportation of signals. Pistachio also produces serotonin, melatonin and GABA, which help to reduce stress. It also contains trace amounts of copper, which is responsible for neurotransmission.
Carotenoids are usually associated with orange fruits and veggies. But pistachios also have these advantages! They’re packed with two carotenoids called lutein and zeaxanthin.

- Mechanically Opened Pistachios: if the farmers harvest the pistachios before their kernels mature enough to crack open the shells, their shell is closed. As a result, the kernels of this type are smaller than the first category. Then, producers with the help of machines and some technics open the shells mechanically.

Ahmad Aghaei pistachio is one of the most important commercial cultivars of Iranian pistachio along with Fandoghi cultivar. Features such as bright color shell, notably in combination with the large, delicious taste and vivid red color kernel, make Ahmad Aghaei popular pistachio cultivar around the world. We are proud to be one of the approved wholesalers of Ahmad Aghaei pistachio (Iranian Long Pistachio) around the country.
Ahmad Aghaei pistachio cultivar was evaluated and introduced as a new variety by a grower named Ahmad Agha Forootan first time in the town of Noogh located in Rafsanjan. It is predominantly cultivated as the main verity on a large scale throughout Rafsanjan and Sirjan towns on 90,000 hectares.
Fandoghi and Ahmad Aghaei are considered the most important commercial pistachio cultivars of Iran. But the comparison of nut quality characteristics among four major Iranian commercial pistachio cultivars revealed the highest similarity between Ahmad Aghaei and Akbari. Since this variety is better adapted to climatic changes and can being compatible with various environments, it is grown by growers over a wide range of lands across the country. As previously mentioned, all special features of this Iranian pistachio cultivar including large and bright shells, and delicious red kernels, encourage customers to consume Ahmad Aghaei cultivar all around the world.
Nut ripening time: Middle
Nut weight (one ounce): 22-26/28.3 g.
Hull splitting: Presents
Nut shape: Almond
Shell color: White
Shell splitting location: abdominal is lower from dorsal
Shell splitting: 2.89 mm
Nut dropping at maturity: Present, it is very delicate and occurrence dropping proportion is relatively high
Ahmad Aghaei nuts are considered as medium-sized nuts with an average number of 25 opened-shell pistachios per ounce. During the maturation period, the color of the hull is changing from green to vivid red. Nut shape is an elongated rectangle which resulting in dividing in Iranian long pistachios group. Also, the length to width ratio is 1.6.
This cultivar has medium tree vigor and spreading growth habit. Indeed, it presents weak apical dominance compared to Fandoghi or Akbari cultivars. A comparison between Ahmad Aghaei and Akbari shows that the longitudinal growth in current-year shoots is slower for Ahmad Aghaei (long pistachio). In the following, inter-nodes length is longer and branches are thinner for Ahmad Aghaei. Furthermore, the Iranian long pistachio has more spherical and smaller flower buds than is observed for Akbari.
Beginning to bloom in Ahmad Aghaei is almost similar to Kale ghoochi and seems like an early flowering cultivar. Under Rafsanjan’s condition, the blooming will begin on 1 April and lasts for 13 days.
Even though Ahmad Aghaei produces a higher number of both simple and three-leaflet compound leaves than Akbari ones, but leaf size is small. Moreover, it has a flattened spear-shaped terminal leaflet and short petioles length.
The maturity date of Ahmad Aghaei is on 25 June and the ripening time is at the beginning of September. Accordingly, it is an early maturity variety. The outer surface of the kernel is red-purple and the inner section is light green.
The length of the cluster in Ahmad Aghaei and Akbari is identical, while cluster width is greater in the first variety. In the other words, Ahmad Aghaei has open nut clusters which resulting in having thinner ones too. Ahmad Aghaei produces a greater percentage of split nuts (an important commercial character) than Kale ghoochi or Fandoghi while maintaining a low rate of blank (are commercially unfavorable criteria and do not contribute to yield) and closed-shells nuts. In pistachio, alternate bearing that may be a marketing problem is common with fruit production fluctuating between ‘on’ years of high yields and ‘off’ years of low yields. In Ahmad Aghaei alternate bearing severity is relative I= 0.7 but it has a heavy yield potential.
