While China is an important overseas market for U.S. nuts, not all brands can get a head start. Said Farm, which is popular in the American snack circle, is slightly less well-known in China than Wan Duofu. But it's also strong, being the second-largest pistachio processor in the U.S., and in recent years has focused on expanding its factories and adding growing partners to increase the amount of product that can be processed and stored to increase pistachio production.
Grown in the San Joaquin Valley of California, USA, the pistachios at Said Farms ripen naturally in full sunshine. When picking the fruit, Said Farm uses a mechanized fruit tree shaker to shake off the early-ripening fruit first, and then shake off the late-ripening fruit with great force. The elongated and flattened fruit collection device that surrounds the tree is placed at an angle, and the fruit that falls from it can be rolled directly down to the conveyor belt, where it is then transported to a large storage silo to prevent the pistachios from being damaged by insects, moisture and other factors, and then transported back to the factory for further processing.
The pistachio grains are not large, but the fruit is firm and round, and the pale brown shell has a wide opening, which makes it very easy to peel. When opened, you can see that the emerald green kernels are wrapped in a purple coat, and the color is healthy. In terms of taste, it is even more self-contained, with a lot of novel flavors at Said Farm, which can satisfy the "tricky" tongue of foodies, and there are many packaging specifications and designs, among which the very American-style burlap bags are very suitable for gifts.
In 2000, Side Farm first launched five novel flavors, including chili lemon, garlic onion, and barbecue, which were sought after by consumers in the pistachio market, which had a single taste at that time. Although these have their own flavors, they all rely on garlic powder, black pepper extract, natural spices and other flavors to enhance the flavor, and the seasoning flavor covers the original crispiness of the fruit, and there will be condiments such as sea salt and chili pepper adhere to the pistachio, and your hands will often get dirty when peeling the shell, so you need to bring your own wet wipes. These 5 specifications are all 198 grams, which is difficult to buy on domestic e-commerce platforms.
The original flavor and salt and pepper flavors of Said Farm are classic items, the original pistachio has a mellow and crispy taste, and you can feel the delicate and smooth fruit when you chew it carefully, and the price of each bag of 227 grams is 59 yuan. The salt and pepper taste is more salty and fragrant, and the specifications and price are the same as the original.
