Following this, every batch undergoes a meticulous final inspection by our trained specialists.

Comparing Green and regular kernels
NITC offers two distinct categories of pistachio kernels to meet different market needs. Both are premium products, yet they have unique visual and flavor characteristics.
Green Kernels are prized for their vibrant, natural color and a more delicate, slightly sweeter flavor profile. They are often the preferred choice for applications where visual appeal is paramount. Common uses include premium ice creams, high-end confectionery, and decorative toppings.
Regular Kernels, sometimes called natural kernels, have a more classic pistachio appearance with a beige to light green hue. They offer a richer, more robust nutty flavor. These kernels are exceptionally versatile and are widely used in baking, cooking, spreads, and standard snack mixes.
Choosing the right type depends on your final product’s requirements. Please contact our sales team to discuss which kernel—Green or Regular—and which specific grade is best suited for your application. We can provide samples to help you make the perfect choice for your needs.
