When is National Pistachio Day?

All things pistachio are pistachio, and National Pistachio Day is the day to celebrate on February 26th. Pistachio enthusiasts rejoice as they eat their favorite nut all day long. Buy some and give them to someone who does not like pistachios to those who do not. Crack them open and eat them up or enjoy them in ice cream or your favorite pistachio dessert.

Pistachios were born in the United States in the 1880s, but they have been cultivating in the Middle East since Biblical times.

The pistachio tree grows to about 20 feet tall, but it needs little or no rain and must have high heat. They claim to have 700-year-old pistachio trees in Iran! Fruit trees that bear fruit take between 7 and ten years to mature and bear fruit.
