To produce pistachio slices, you must first prepare a suitable pistachio kernel.
The pistachio kernel suitable for producing pistachio slices is a kernel that has the following characteristics:

These items are also very important in determining the quality of pistachio slices.
Once the pistachio kernel select for production, we enter the processing process.
First, it is necessary to put the pistachio kernels in water to get them out of the dry and firm state.
At this stage, the thin skin on the pistachio kernel separates, and the kernel will appear completely green.
Once all the pistachio kernels are completely skinless, the product is ready to enter the next stage.
At this stage, the pistachio kernels pour into a slicer and the kernels cut evenly.
After removing the pistachio slices from the machine, it is necessary for the moisture of the product to reach its normal and standard level.
Since pistachio kernels were soaked in water to soften them, their moisture is very high.
At this stage, the pistachio slices place on a dryer with a gentle heat.
If the production volume of pistachio slices is high, it is necessary to turn the products on the dryer every few hours.
After this stage, the dried pistachio slices become very brittle.
For this reason, in its transportation and packaging, care must be taken not to reduce its quality.
