Pistachio Paste

Pistachio paste is a smooth or slightly coarse mixture made by grinding pistachio kernels, typically without added oil or sugar in its basic form. It has an intense green colour and a pronounced nutty flavour. It is used primarily in confectionery and dessert cooking, in creams, fillings, ice creams, macarons, pralines and biscuits. It can also be added to sauces and marinades for an interesting flavour dimension. High-quality paste contains no added colouring and preserves the natural aroma of pistachios. It is rich in healthy fats, protein and antioxidants.
