Frequently asked questions
Should pistachios be roasted before making praline?
Yes, roast them for 12 to 15 minutes at 160 °C to bring out the flavors before grinding.
Are these pistachios skinned?
No, they retain their thin skins. This isn't necessary for classic praline; skinning is only needed for pure green pistachio paste.
How much praline do you get from 1 kg of pistachios?
With a typical ratio of 50% pistachios and 50% sugar, you get about 1.8 kg of finished praline.
