Kaal Pistachio Kernel (Boz)

unripe Pistachio Kernel, known in Iran as “Kaal”, is one of the most valuable and premium pistachio products in the global market. This product is obtained through early harvesting of pistachios at a stage when the kernel color remains green and has not yet turned yellow.

During processing, the kernels are shelled and carefully graded based on intensity of green color, size, and kernel integrity. Due to the special cellular structure, Kaal pistachio kernels feature a deep green color, softer texture, and richer flavor compared to normal kernels. They are also rich in plant protein, beneficial lipids, and phenolic antioxidant compounds, making them a premium ingredient for food industries.

From a scientific perspective, early harvesting significantly reduces the risk of aflatoxin contamination. Therefore, Kaal pistachio kernels are known as one of the healthiest pistachio products in international markets in terms of food safety.

Green Crown Company manages the entire supply chain from farming to processing and export, offering a diverse range of high-quality Kaal pistachio kernels to global markets. The pure green color, adequate oil content, unique flavor, and excellent microbiological safety have made this product a luxury raw material with steadily increasing international demand.
