DID YOU KNOW THAT JANUARY 26TH IS WORLD PISTACHIO DAY?

MONDAY, JANUARY 26TH IS WORLD PISTACHIO DAY 

Here are some interesting facts I bet you didn't know about pistachios. 
  • Pistachio ice cream was invented in the 1940s by James W. Parkinson of Pennsylvania. 
  • Pistachios are one of the oldest flowering nut trees, botanically related to cashews and mangoes. 
  • Pistachios have more antioxidants per serving than green tea. 
  • In the Middle East people call the pistachio the "smiling nut" and in China they call the pistachio the "happy nut". 
Recycling ideas for those pistachio shells: 
  • Use as a fire starter or kindling. 
  • Place around the base of your plants to deter snails and slugs. 
  • Line the bottom of your flower pots for good drainage. 
  • Use as mulch for plants requiring more acidic soil.
