Pistachios
Pistachios from Extra Large through Small, across Kerman and three Iranian varieties.
Kerman is the variety most buyers picture when they think pistachio — large, well-split shells, consistent kernel color — and it's what we carry the deepest stock of. Ahmad Aghaei, Akbari and Badami are Iranian varieties with their own following among buyers who know the category well, generally at a different price point than Kerman.
Size grading runs Extra Large through Small by shell count per ounce; larger sizes command a real premium for retail and gifting use, while Medium and Small grades are what most confectionery and ice cream manufacturers actually buy.
- Extra Large (XL)
- This grade of pistachios is the largest in size and has the lowest number of pistachios per ounce. They are generally the most expensive.
- Large (L)
- This grade of pistachios is slightly smaller than the XL grade but still has a low number of pistachios per ounce.
- Medium (M)

- Small (S)
- This grade of pistachios is slightly smaller than the XL grade but still has a low number of pistachios per ounce.
