Syria is the land of pistachios! It is a crop deeply rooted in our agriculture and cuisine. It is almost impossible to find a Syrian dessert that doesn't include pistachios in some way.
A pistachios life starts inside a soft red casing. During the harvest season, merchants fill the bazaars with these beautiful red nuts. Syrians buy bags full of fresh pistachios to enjoy with their friends and families.
Peel away the red casing, crack the shell open, and eat up!
