The original homelands of the pistachio were Asia Minor (now Turkey), Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and a bit north to the Caucasus in southern Russia and Afghanistan. Legend has it that the Queen of Sheba decreed pistachios an exclusively royal food, going so far as to forbid commoners from growing the nut for personal use. Turkey is a significant maker of nuts on the planet. The fundamental nut is hazelnut, trailed by pistachio. Gaziantep is the number one region of Turkey for pistachio production but it is not about quantity. Indeed the fame comes purely from the quality. Pistachio nut trees in Gaziantep flourish because of the ideal climate and excellent condition of soil. Local farmers generally pick the pistachio nuts in September.
