Product Description
The tree grows up to *0 m (*3 ft) tall. It has deciduous pinnate
leaves ***0 centimeters (*8 inches) long. The plants are
dioecious, with separate male and female trees. The flowers are
apetalous and unisexual and borne in panicles.
The fruit is a drupe, containing an elongated seed, which is the
edible portion. The seed, commonly thought of as a nut, is a
culinary nut, not a botanical nut. The fruit has a hard,
cream-colored exterior
shell. The seed has a mauve-colored skin and light green flesh,
with a distinctive flavor. When the fruit
ripens, the shell changes from green to an autumnal yellow/red
and abruptly splits partly open. This is
known as dehiscence, and happens with an audible pop. The
splitting open is a trait that has been
selected by humans.[*5] Commercial cultivars vary in how
consistently they split open.
Each pistachio tree averages around *0 kilograms (**0 lb) of
seeds, or around *0,**0, every two years.[*6]
The shell of the pistachio is naturally a beige color, but it is
sometimes dyed red or green in commercial
pistachios. Originally, dye was applied by importers to hide
stains on the shells caused when the seeds
were picked by hand.[*7] Most pistachios are now picked by
machine and the shells remain unstained,
making dyeing unnecessary except to meet ingrained consumer
expectations.
