Ingredients
- Pistachio
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- In Gaziantep, hand-pick the highest quality pistachios at the end of summer before they fully ripen and split their shells naturally.
- Sun-dry the harvested nuts for days to evaporate excess moisture and condense the flavor to the limit.
- Remove the outer red skin and process into a vibrant emerald green state (the highest grade called boz iç) for premium sweets like baklava, or salt-roast whole in shells for snacks.

[Trend] Gaziantep is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. The Turkish sweets industry would collapse without pistachios from here; they possess value and brand power on another dimension.
