The pistachio is a tiny tree native to Central Asia and the Middle East that belongs to the cashew family. The tree yields seeds, which are commonly consumed as a source of nutrition.
Pistacia vera is frequently confused with other Pistacia species that are also known as pistachio. The regional distributions (in the wild) of these other species can be distinguished, as can their seeds, which are much smaller and have a soft shell.
