Fun Facts about Pistachios and Strawberries

Pistachios have been grown in the Middle East for thousands of years. They were introduced to the United States in the 1880s. Pistachio trees grow to heights of about 20 feet. They need high heat and very little rain. Pistachio shells have a natural beige color and usually split when the nuts are ripe. The kernels can be eaten whole, either fresh or roasted and salted or unsalted. About 300 million pounds of pistachios are produced in California every year. That state produces about 98 percent of the pistachios in the United States.

Strawberries are an aromatic fruit that belong to the same family as roses. They grow all over the world, except for the most northern and southern regions. Over 600 varieties of strawberries are grown. They are an excellent source of vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, and fiber. It is unclear how strawberries got their name.
