Closed shell pistachios are pistachios whose shell did not open during harvest. Buyers also call them unsplit pistachios. Food companies often choose them for pistachio processing, because they can crack the nuts and extract the kernels themselves. In addition, Khalili Trading sources pistachios in Anar and Kerman province. As a result, we can supply bulk and export orders.
What are closed shell pistachios?
Most pistachio shells split open on the tree as the nut ripens. However, some shells stay shut. Therefore, these nuts look different from the open-shell pistachios in retail packs. In other words, the trade knows them as unsplit pistachios, and buyers treat them as a raw material rather than a ready snack.
Unsplit pistachios and pistachio processing
Processors usually crack unsplit pistachios open to get the kernels. For example, confectionery makers, bakeries and ice cream producers then use those kernels in their recipes. Moreover, some buyers choose these nuts because the price suits their production plan. For this reason, they fit companies that run their own pistachio processing more than retail packers.
Quality still matters in every lot. First, ask about the size and the crop year. Second, check the moisture level and the cleanliness of the lot. Third, ask for a sample. Finally, put the specification in writing. As a result, you know exactly what you will receive.
