Slivered pistachios are pistachios that have been split, then sliced into tiny strips (slivers).
Iranian pistachios are no longer dyed red, but the fact remains that they are still the top choice in the market. They are available in-shell, shelled, or as other pistachio ingredients . The in-shell pistachios are divided into three main groups of round, long and jumbo. Shelled pistachios are called kernels.
Pistachio is an especially popular nut and flavor in Italy, and one of the many prides of Sicily. Sicily is the region best known for pistachios, especially the small town of Bronte near the famous volcano, Mt. Etna. Italy is so special with its many regions, each offering their own unique culinary and cultural gifts.
