FANDOGHI PISTACHIO – This cultivar is the most widely available pistachio variety and grows in most pistachio growing areas of Iran. Fandoghi Pistachio is one of the round types and has the lowest shape index among the four cultivars. In recent years, around 50% of Iranian production is of the Fandoghi type. The reason is its limited yield, the new orchards are seldom planted with this variety.
Round Pistachio (Fandoghi in shape and appearance) is smaller than other kinds of Iranian pistachio and larger than hazelnut. Because of its small size, the number of Round pistachios in one kilogram is more than other types therefore it is more economical and has the largest volume for export. Round pistachios are great in protein and nutritional value.
