Legend has it that in ancient Western Asia, the Queen of Sheba loved this nut so much that she decreed that all the pistachios in the kingdom should be for her and her court. In fact, its very name, derived from the Persian "Pisteh," means wealth and fortune. And while pistachios were initially associated with the upper classes, today this crop is experiencing a resurgence, growing steadily throughout the world.<\/span><\/p>\n From EDYPRO<\/strong> We want to pay tribute and take this opportunity to congratulate the pistachio on its World Day (February 26). And we're going to do so by telling you everything you need to know about the boom we're experiencing with this wonderful nut.<\/span><\/p>\n A LITTLE HISTORY\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Pistachio cultivation is ancient. Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans consumed and spread this delicacy. It was introduced to Italy from Syria in the 1st century and later spread to the rest of the countries in the Mediterranean basin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The pistachio tree arrived on the Iberian Peninsula with the Romans, flourished thanks to the Arabs, and disappeared during the Middle Ages with the Moriscos. It wasn't until 1980 that we witnessed the commercial reintroduction of this crop in Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n WHERE PISTACHIOS ARE GROWED TODAY<\/b><\/p>\n Currently, the main producing countries are Iran, the US (which is self-sufficient thanks to its Californian production), Turkey, Syria, China, and Greece. Germany is the world's largest importer, followed by Spain, France, and the countries of the Middle East.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Focusing on our borders, Castilla-La Mancha is the undisputed leader in pistachio production and acreage across Europe. This region accounts for over 82 percent of Spain's pistachio acreage, with more than 46,000 hectares out of the 56,000 hectares nationwide. Andalusia, Extremadura, and Castilla y Le\u00f3n follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These figures continue to rise; in fact, we're talking about an increase of 301,000 tons in the last year, according to the Survey on Crop Areas and Yields published by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. However, despite having surpassed a national production of 7,000 tons, we still cannot meet the high demand we have today.<\/span><\/p>\n And at this point you might be wondering, but\u2026 why is there such a high demand for this nut? Is it really that good? From EDYPRO<\/strong> We have a clear answer and it is a resounding YES.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n QUALITIES<\/b><\/p>\n POSSIBLE DRAWBACKS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Despite all its positive aspects, the pistachio tree is one of the least exploited fruit trees, and upon reflection, this may be due to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, it needs to be planted in <\/span>sunny places <\/b>to be less susceptible to pests and diseases. And, although it withstands strong, dry winds, it prefers gentle breezes to increase its fruit yield. As for the soil, although it can grow in a wide range, it prefers those <\/span>sandy loam<\/b>, deep and well-drained. And it will be essential that it has a good <\/span>pollination <\/b>to obtain a large and high-quality production.<\/span><\/p>\n And this is where it comes in.
