Some historians have said that the famous hanging gardens of Babylon probably contained pistachio plants. In fact, pistachios are only one of two nuts that are actually mentioned in the Old Testament. By the 1st century AD that pistachios made their way to Europe as they traveled there with the Romans then eventually to the U.S. in the 1800's. For several decades, the producers and importers used red dye to hide flaws and try to make them more appealing to american consumers. By the1980s the dye went by the wayside and now they are sold in their natural color. The largest producer of pistachio nuts today is Iran but they are also grown in other warmer areas of the world, including California and Mediterranean Europe.
