When it comes to pistachios, Iran stands at the top of the global stage. Known for their rich flavor, high oil content, and natural open shells, Iranian pistachios are not just a snack — they are a standard of quality recognized by traders, retailers, and food manufacturers worldwide.

At Zaragro, we proudly source and export some of the finest pistachios from Iran — tailored for both wholesale and retail markets.

🇮🇷 Why Iranian Pistachios Are So Special

1. Centuries of Cultivation

Iran has been growing pistachios for over 2,000 years. The unique combination of climate, soil, and sunlight in regions like Kerman and Rafsanjan gives the nuts their superior flavor and texture.

2. Exceptional Taste & Quality

Iranian pistachios are:

  • Naturally sun-dried
  • Rich in oil and nutrients
  • Available in large, flavorful kernels
    This gives them a distinctive buttery-sweet taste and a satisfying crunch unmatched by other varieties.

3. Varieties to Match Your Market

Zaragro supplies multiple types of Iranian pistachios, including:

  • Akbari – Extra large, luxury-grade, elongated nuts
  • Fandoghi – Round, compact, most exported variety
  • Ahmad Aghaei – Long and white-shell, popular in many markets
  • Badami – Slim and flavorful

Each variety is available raw, roasted, or salted, based on your needs.
