Between 1941 and 1951, Mehdi Ohadi, a pistachio grower from Fath-Abad village in Rafsanjan, introduced Fandoghi. It is good to know that this cultivar is also known as Ohadi. Fandoghi agriculture has risen over the previous 40 years, accounting for 60-70 percent of Rafsanjan’s pistachio groves. As a result, this cultivar may be found in 90% of Iran’s historic orchards.
Round pistachios are one of the most popular and cost-effective forms of Iranian pistachios. Fandoghi is the name given to this variety due to its spherical shape. This pistachio is smaller than other types of pistachios, yet it is larger than a hazelnut and has a delicious flavor. This kind belongs to the same family as the Jumbo pistachio. It is the most cost-effective pistachio due to its small size, and it also has the highest volume of export and planting. Kerman pistachios are considered the highest-quality pistachios in Iran and worldwide. This characteristic of the Kerman pistachio is primarily due to the province’s geographic location, as well as its distance and elevation, which distinguish the Kerman pistachio from other pistachios and give it worldwide renown. The best pistachio trees and gardens can be found in Kerman and Rafsanjan, although they are also present in Damghan and other cities in Iran.
Pistachios have a variety of nutrients that vary depending on the climate and location of cultivation. However, in general, pistachio species share similar characteristics and commonalities, which may be due to the soil in which they were planted, the type of fruit, or water treatment. The air also differs slightly in its composition of these nutrients. This type of pistachio is the least expensive of all pistachios. Its lower cost than other types is a direct result of its shape and large production volume, despite low indigenous interest. This pistachio frames the more critical aspect of the Iran pistachio trade in this way.
This type’s shell is usually pale cream. It also has the greenest portion. Makers commonly choose it to build GPPK due to its green kernel and reasonable cost. They are well-known for their flavor and cost-effectiveness. Fandoghi pistachios are ideal for decorating all types of pistachio treats due to their delicious, nutty taste, spherical shape, and round appearance. The fineness of Fandoghi pistachio seeds is responsible for their economics. The pistachio’s modest size yields 1000 to 1100 pistachio seeds per kilogram, making it ideal for home use and parties.

Fandoghi pistachios are exported in two varieties: AbKhandan (Mechanically opened) and Natural Open pistachio.
