One of the most popular nuts that shares its name with both a color and a tree is the pistachio. With its slightly sweet, nutty flavor and soft green color, the pistachio is much loved by people all over the world. Pistachios are a traditional food in the hot desert climates of Turkey and Iran, where they have been eaten for thousands of years. They grow on leafy pistachio trees that can reach up to 10 meters in height. Pistachios, the seeds of these trees, are harvested when their shells turn yellowish pink and naturally split open.
在名字同时能指颜色也能指树木的坚果中，开心果是其中一种最受欢迎的。凭借著微甜坚果味及柔和的绿色，开心果深受世界各地人们的喜爱。开心果是土耳其与伊朗炎热沙漠气候中的传统食物，在那里人们食用它已经有数千年的历史。它们生长在叶子茂密的开心果树上，这些树可高达十公尺。开心果是这种树的种子，会在外壳转为淡黄粉色并自然裂开时被采收。
