Cashews were discovered in the 16th century by the Portuguese in Brazil and from this country spread around the world. In the Greek market, we found them at any time of the year imported from India and Vietnam. We mostly import them raw (in white colour) they get fried (or roasted) and salted so, their colour becomes golden.
Pistachios are originated from Central Asia and arrived in Aegina in the early 20th century. In the market, we consume, fresh Greek pistachios from Aegina, Megara but also other areas such as Fthiotida, Halkidiki and Evia. They enter the market in early September.
We are importing pistachios from other countries mostly, from Iran and Syria that are equally good to Greek, but also from America where American pistachios are very different compared to the Greek ones. We can buy them with the nutshell or just the kernel, cooked or uncooked, salted or unsalted but always fresh.
The groundnut, the plant that we get the peanut it first appeared in South America. Portuguese were the ones who introduce it to the rest of the world. Peanuts are found in the market in September and are rarely Greek- usually, we import them from Egypt (that is probably how they got their name) China and Argentina. We can buy them in their natural form (with Shell) roasted (salted or unsalted) or without their skins fried and salted (famous pinats).
Peanuts are very popular in the market, and they come in many forms: coated with flour and spices, egg the type Zolita, Juanita and Krokerino.
Our main supplier is Agricultural Association COTAGRO from Argentina.
Hazelnuts are produced all over Europe, Western Asia and Northern Africa. However, 75% of the world production of hazelnuts are from Turkey. They are mainly consumed in our country because Greek production is so little.
Hazelnuts enter the market in August. Imported nutshelled, then roasted and thus leave the skin. The best hazelnuts are not bitter or brown (this is a sign that they may be rotten).
The nuts compose a healthy, nutritious, and delicious nutritional choice and that is the reason why they must be part of our diet not only in celebrations and on special occasions but in our breakfast, snacks and our meals too.
