Q. Should pistachios be roasted?

Answer

Pistachios are roasted very seldom in order to remove their shells; nonetheless, shelled pistachios and pistachio kernels are sometimes toasted. Pistachios are roasted for a variety of reasons, the primary one being that doing so improves both their flavour and their crunchiness. The processing temperature for pistachios might vary depending on the kind. Some varieties of pistachios are roastable, which means that they may be cooked in an oven at a high temperature. The roastability of coffee is more dependent on the variety (for example, the genetic structure) than the region. Pistachios that are susceptible to heat, on the other hand, could not have the same flavour and taste as those that can withstand high temperatures. Pistachios from Turkey and Iran both contain a higher percentage of fat in their kernels. They can withstand very high temperatures. Pistachios grown in the United States are notorious for having lower fat content and a lower tolerance for roasting.
