Pistachio History

The word "pistachio" has evolved over time, originating from late Middle English "pistazie" (from Old French). In the 16th century, it became the Italian "pistacchio" (the pronunciation we use today), with roots in Latin and Greek "pistakion" and Middle Persian "pistak." The current Persian word is 'pista' or 'pisteh.' Iran exports pistachios extensively to China each year.
