Aleppo pistachios (Fustuq Halabi)

Fustuq Halabi is the Arabic term for Aleppo pistachios, named after the Syrian city of Aleppo, where they are traditionally cultivated. These pistachios are famous throughout the Middle East for their distinctive flavor, vibrant green color, and rich, slightly sweet taste.

They are highly prized in both local and international markets and are often used in Middle Eastern desserts like baklava, ma'amoul, and various pastries. The unique climate and soil conditions in the Aleppo region contribute to the superior quality of fustuq Halabi, making them a key export product for Syria.

Aleppo pistachios are also appreciated for their high oil content, which enhances their flavor and texture in culinary applications.
