National Pistachio Day
February 26, 2024
National Pistachio Day is the time to celebrate this popular nut, which happens to be native to the Middle Eastern areas of the globe, including the areas that are now Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan and even southern Russia. It is thought that pistachio nuts date back pretty far into human history. In fact, they are believed to have been not only eaten by humans for at least 9000 years, but they have become an interesting part of some cultures and traditions!
This day is dedicated to the delicious and nutritious pistachios, a beloved snack that has been around for centuries. Originally from Iran, this nut was introduced in California during the late 19th century and quickly became popular due to its unique flavor and health benefits.
