Storage Tips
Airtight container in the fridge 6 months, freezer 1 year. The high fat content makes them go rancid quickly at room temperature.
Baking Science
About 45% fat, 20% protein. Chlorophyll gives the green colour; the deeper the green, the higher quality the nut. Heat above 175°C destroys the colour and the delicate flavour.
Recipe Context
For nut flours: weigh to avoid dry or greasy texture swings.
For seed gels: hydration ratio directly affects binding strength.
For toppings: weight gives consistent coverage and bake color.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup pistachios (shelled) = 123g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 112g-134g per cup (9% band).
Why this happens: cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
