Middle Eastern Pistachios throughout History
According to dictionary.com, pistachio is from late Middle English “pistace”, from Old French, superseded in the 16th century by forms from Italian “pistacchio”, and from Greek “pistakion”. Pistachios are one of the oldest flowering nut trees. Recent archeological evidence suggests that these seeds have been a common food for nine thousand years. The high nutritional value, as well as the long storage life, made pistachio an invaluable travel item among early explorers and traders. Pistachios and almonds were frequently carried by travelers across the ancient Silk Road, which connected China with the West.
