Description

Ahmad Aghaei pistachios, commonly referred to as AA pistachios, are one of the most sought-after commercial varieties of Iranian pistachios, known for their exceptional quality, striking appearance, and high yield. This variety has gained immense popularity among farmers and exporters due to its early fruiting, uniform development, and impressive production efficiency, making it a preferred choice for both domestic markets and international trade, especially in eastern Asia, including China and India.

Distinctive Shape and Appearance

The most identifiable characteristic of AA pistachios is their long and slender shape, which sets them apart from other varieties. Although the pistachios are long, their lengths vary slightly, giving them a natural, authentic appeal. They feature the whitest shell hue among all Iranian pistachio types, which contributes to their clean and elegant look—ideal for high-end packaging and gourmet presentation. AA pistachios typically fall within the following size ranges (pieces per ounce): 22-24, 24-26, 26-28, 28-30, 30-32
