Organic Turkish Pistachios
Organic Turkish Pistachios Production
Different reasons can account for the presence of conditions favorable to the growth of the fungus responsible for aflatoxins inside pistachios, the most important of which is the splitting open of their external green layer, where aflatoxin is most frequently found. Pistachios are sorted using visual control or a sortex machine to eliminate defective nuts such as pistachios that have adhering hulls, are moldy or stained. Pistachios that are fully or partially empty are separated from the others using air stream and unsplit pistachios using flotation in water. Water activity (aw) in pistachios needs to be kept below 0.70 at 25°C. Humidity relative to temperature must not exceed 70% to avoid any significant mold growth. Temperature must be maintained between 0 and 10°C depending on expected storage duration. Lower temperatures make for a longer storage life.
Did You Know?: When pistachios ripen on the trees, their shells rupture and produce a cracking sound which, in many parts of the world, is associated with good luck. In countries where pistachio cultivation is abundant, researchers have studied the potential use of pistachio shells in the production of biogas, which can then be used as a renewable source of energy.
HOW TO USE Turkish Pistachios?
Pistachios can be eaten on their own as a delicious and nutritious snack or used in both savory and sweet dishes. They can serve as a topping for salads, rice or oven-baked dishes. Fans of Italian cuisine can use pistachios as a pizza topping or to make pesto. Pistachios can also be mixed with cereal grains for breakfast or with other nuts in trail mixes. Pistachios have long been used in the preparation of a variety of desserts to which they lend a distinctive green color such as gelato and ice cream. They can also be used in recipes for baked goods such as cakes or cookies
