Green Peeled Pistachio Kernel, Pistachio Kernel is made from all kinds of pistachios. Size is a quality factor for kernels. It’s imperative to mention the “green” pistachio kernels. As the pistachio gets riper, the kernel gets bigger, and the color changes from dark green to light green/yellow. Furthermore, the number of broken kernels is a quality factor; the fewer broken kernels, the higher the value.

Pistachio Kernel, All kinds of pistachios are used to make Pistachio Kernel. A kernel’s size is one of its quality factors.
