Pistachio

Baking with pistachios: more than just a snack

Pistachios are not only delicious as a snack, but also a surprising ingredient in countless baking recipes. Thanks to their lightly sweet, nutty flavour and beautiful green colour, pistachios are a popular choice for decoration as well as incorporating into batters and doughs. Think of a creamy chocolate cake with a crunchy pistachio topping, muffins with shelled pistachios or a carrot cake.

Thanks to their natural flavour, pistachios also pair well with chocolate, citrus, vanilla and even carrot or pumpkin. Add them to cream toppings, fillings or glazes. Want to impress? Try making pistachio ice cream or use pistachio powder in macarons.

Types of pistachios

At Baktotaal you can buy pistachios in the form that best suits your recipe. Prefer working with whole nuts, coarsely chopped kernels or finely ground powder? You will find them all in our range.

• Shelled pistachios (90 g or 1 kg): ready to use in batters, as a garnish or simply as a snack. These unsalted pistachios have a pure, natural flavour.
• Pistachio kernels (150 g): coarsely chopped and ideal for extra crunch. Perfect in breads, gingerbread or pastry dough.
• Pistachio powder: finely ground pistachios, ideal for refined bakes. Use it to flavour pistachio ice cream or incorporate it into batters or fillings.

Discover the many ways to use pistachios

Pistachios are not limited to cakes and biscuits. Add them to homemade granola or energy bites for a wholesome snack. Sprinkle them over yoghurt or porridge for a colourful and flavourful breakfast. They also work well in savoury dishes, for example in pesto instead of pine nuts, or as a crunchy topping on vegetables and salads. This way you can enjoy the flavour and crisp texture of pistachios in every dish.

Combining pistachios with other seeds, nuts and fruits

Combine pistachios with almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts for a rich nut mix in cake batter. Or mix pistachios with chia seeds, linseed or sunflower seeds in energy bars or gingerbread. They also pair beautifully with dried fruits such as cranberries, apricots or raisins for a delicious flavour combination.
