FANDOGHI
PISTACHIO

This type of Pistachio is the least expensive type among all the pistachios. The reason why its price is lower than other types is because of its shape and high production volume in addition to low domestic demand. So, Round Fandoghi Pistachio forms most of the volume of pistachio export from Iran. The color of the Round Pistachio shell is naturally light cream. Also, it has the greenest kernel. Therefore, the greenness of its kernel and the reasonable price is the reason why producers mostly use Fandoghi to produce.

Farmers grow pistachios in provinces that have a proper climate for pistachios, such as Kerman, Khorasan, Yazd, Markazi or cities like Damghan.

Producers categorize pistachios in two different types as well which is more technical:

1. Naturally Open Pistachios: pistachios grow on trees. If farmers leave the pistachios on the tree so that their kernels grow to crack open the hard shell, it will be naturally opened without any outside force. So, in other words, the shell opens on its own as the pistachio nut grows. This type is more expensive than the mechanically opened pistachios.
2. 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.
