Have you noticed how pistachios seem to be everywhere these days, from coffee shops to popular TikTok videos? One big reason for their popularity is that they are widely available. For example, in California, where most U.S. pistachios are grown, farmers produce such a large quantity that the crop brings in billions of dollars for the state every year. Pistachio trees also adapt well to harsh environments, enabling them to thrive in hot, dry regions. Another reason for pistachios’ appeal is their luxurious image.
