  • Pistachio nuts are a member of the cashew family and are closely related to mangoes, sumac, and even poison ivy.
  •  Iran produces more pistachios than any other country in the world with over 200k tons per year.
  •  In Asia they are often referred to as ‘green almonds & the ‘happy nut’. In Iran they are called the ‘smiling nut.’

Cheese is produced throughout the world in wide-ranging flavors, textures, and forms.  There are over 2000 varieties. Cheddar cheese is dyed orange to give it an appealing color.  White cheddar is closer to its natural color. Cheese is one of the oldest foods in history, dating back 4000 years to the ancient Egyptians. Cheese takes up about 1/10 the volume of the milk it was made from. The terms “Big Wheel” and “Big Cheese” originally referred to those who were wealthy enough to purchase a whole wheel of cheese. Fun Fact: The term “cheese ball” can also refer to the puffed air orange snack that can be purchased in the snack aisle. The earliest mention was found in a 1944 cookbook called “Food of My Friends”.
