The pistachio is a dried fruit produced by the pistachio tree, a Mediterranean shrub. It takes the form of a greenish, sweet-tasting seed, housed in a shell that opens when ripe.
Pistachios have two main uses. It is eaten :
salted and/or grilled as an aperitif
sweetened, in pastry-making, where it can be ground, crushed, transformed into cream or flavoring
in paste form, mixed with oil and sugar, particularly in West Asian countries
Like most oilseeds, pistachios are renowned in the sporting world for being a high source of protein (6g per portion), as well as being rich in vitamins and minerals. What's more, its active compounds promote good cardiovascular health.
Iran is the historical cradle of this crop, which can be traced back to the Persian Empire, before being gradually introduced into Europe under the Roman Empire, and even more so under the reign of Louis XVI. Consumption in the United States took off at the end of the 19th century due to strong immigration from southern Europe, prompting the country to produce it locally in its arid southern lands. These two countries have been producing over 70% for the last ten years, although the figure has recently been tending towards a single American monopoly.
The global pistachio market is dynamic and growing: it is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.47% over the period 2024-2029. In 2022-2023, global pistachio production rose by 40%, yet Europe contributed very little to this increase, and France even less.
The French pistachio market has been in decline for the past ten years (imports and consumption divided by 2), but new supply trends embodied by Made in France and organic products could reverse this trend.
