Why Is It Called Damascus Pistachio?
The Gaziantep region was connected to the province of Damascus during the Ottoman period. At that time, Damascus was both a port and a trading city. Pistachio cultivation was carried out in Syria and Antep. “Turkish pistachio wholesale” was taking place from the Damascus region. For this reason, it was named Damascus nut. Since the pistachio processing facilities were concentrated in the Antep region in the period after the republican period, Gaziantep became the center of the pistachio trade. Over time, the product took the name Pistachio.
What Does Pistachio Roasting Mean?
When pistachios are collected from the tree, there is a red hard shell on them when they are in fruit form. The process of removing this shell by separating is called scaling. This process is done after the pistachio is dried and stored in our country, but before it is processed and presented to the market. In Iran and America, it is made when the fruit is still fresh when it is collected.
Before being put on the market, pistachios are roasted at 150 degrees with or without adding salt. If salt is to be added, a maximum of 0.9 percent salt is put into the roasted pistachios.
In order for the pistachio to be offered to the consumer, the ends must be open. Peanut cracking machines are used for this. Pistachios are one of the hardest-shelled fruits in the world. However, most of the time, peanut cracks spontaneously during ripening.
