Pistachio trees didn’t exist in this country in the 1930s. Today, the U.S. is the world’s second-largest producer—and worldwide demand continues to grow.
Wonderful Pistachios is a leader in satisfying worldwide demand for this smart and healthy snack nut treat. The company is based in California’s central San Joaquin Valley, the heart of America’s pistachio industry. To flourish, the trees require cool winters and long, hot summers with low humidity. This largely limits pistachio production to three primary places on the planet—Iran, Turkey and California.
