The nutritional structure of Iranian pistachios contains a unique unsaturated oils and aromatic elements. Therefore, the pleasant taste and aroma of Iranian pistachios have a special place among every customer. In the last years of our market boom in Japan, about 8,000 tons of Iranian pistachios and 1,000 tons of American pistachios were sold in the Japanese market. When the control of aflatoxins and Iran's poor performance led to our exclusion from this market, the Americans thought they could increase their exports tenfold. But US exports to Japan never exceeded 2,000 tons, because the sensitive Japanese consumer did not like the taste of American pistachios. Today in Europe, the taste of Iranian pistachio is popular with consumers
