Pistachios: powdered, chopped, and whole
Pistachios in powdered, chopped, or whole form for macarons, financiers, and garnishes with their characteristic green hue.
Powdered, chopped, or whole
Powder adds flavor and color to pistachio macarons and financiers; chopped pistachios add crunch as a topping on cakes and ice cream; whole pistachios make an eye-catching garnish or filling for chocolates.
A subtle natural color
Pistachio powder alone gives a pale green tint. For a deeper green, combine it with powdered or gel food coloring rather than increasing the amount, which could alter the flavor.
Frequently asked questions
Is pistachio powder enough to color a macaron?
It gives a pale tint, often enhanced with powdered or gel food coloring for a more vivid green.
Pistachio powder or paste?
The powder flavors and gives structure to a dry batter; a concentrated paste is more intense and already moist.
How should they be stored?
Store in a dry, airtight container away from heat: their high fat content makes them go rancid quickly.
