Pistachios in powder, chopped, and whole form
Pistachios in powder, chopped, or whole form, for macarons, financiers, and decorations with a characteristic green color.
Powdered, chopped, or whole
The powder flavors and colors pistachio macarons and financiers; the chopped pieces add crunch as decoration on cakes and ice cream; the whole nuts are used as visual decoration or filling for chocolates.
A subtle natural color
Pistachio powder alone gives a pale green color. For a deeper green, combine it with powdered or gel food coloring rather than increasing the amount, as this could alter the flavor.
Frequently asked questions
Is pistachio powder enough to color a macaron?
It gives a pale color, often enhanced with powdered or gel food coloring for a more vivid green.
Pistachio powder or paste?
The powder flavors and structures a dry mixture; a concentrated paste is more intense and already moist.
How should they be stored?
Store in a dry place, in an airtight container, away from heat: rich in fat, they go rancid quickly.
