Nuts

Iranians combine a variety of pistachio, almonds, and dried fruits as nuts and serve them to their guests on a daily or weekly basis, particularly at various gatherings and occasions such as Yalda night, Chaharshanbe Suri, and Nowruz. nuts can come in a variety of flavors to suit everyone's preferences.

Since ancient times, nuts have been used as a symbol and an inseparable part of Iranian entertainment and evening parties. Pistachio is one of the most common ingredients used in nuts (trail mix). In Iran, there are extensive pistachio orchards whose products are used not only in nuts but also on their own. In many countries, pistachio is known as an Iranian export product.

Pistachio, hazelnut, and almond are inseparable components of nuts, which may also include other dried fruits such as peanut, sunflower seed, and walnut, or treats such as raisins, dried apricot, dried figs, and so on.

Nuts are made in both simple and salty varieties. In its basic form, only the kernels and other components are dried in the open air or by machine, whereas in its salty form, the kernels are heated with salt after drying to obtain a salty flavor.

How to Dry Nuts Ingredients

The manner in which the nut's kernels and fruits are dried is important because obtaining healthy and tasty nuts necessitates considering important drying tips for each of the ingredients.

It is also important to select the type of kernels to be dried; for example, pistachios and almonds with sliced skin or walnuts with green skin are better suited for drying. The husk on pistachios, almonds, and fresh walnuts must be removed before drying. Unlike the husk, which must be peeled off, the hard shell of the kernels is sometimes peeled off, dried, and used in trail mix, depending on the trail mix maker's preference.

Pistachios that are hollow or empty are thrown into the water to separate them. They are easily separated because they are light enough to float on water. It should also be noted that pistachios with open hard shells, also known as smiling pistachios (!) in Iran, are a better option.

Walnut kernels should not be dried in direct sunlight because they turn black, whereas drying pistachios in the sun will help open their shells and will not harm them.

Obviously, eating trail mix with peeled kernels is more convenient, but the peeling process raises the price.
