Badami
B tier
Badami is a shape-class name used in Iranian and related trade for longer, somewhat almond- shaped pistachios (badam = almond in several languages). Buyers use it when elongated form matters for gift presentation or specific confectionery looks. Flavour stays sweet-green pistachio; the hook is silhouette more than a totally different taste family. Premium lean lots show good fill inside the longer profile. Inspect meats carefully—elongation without plump fill is empty style. Excellent for showcase snacks and sweets that display whole kernels. Keep cool and dark. Compare with Akbari and Ahmad Aghaei when choosing among long Iranian types; Badami is the shape language, while named cultivars may overlap in the same visual class.

History
Badami type pistachio was selected or named in commercial and orchard practice as growers refined regional stocks.
Orchard and trade grading spread Badami beyond its first districts where climate allowed.
Badami entered wider export catalogues as named-variety marketing grew for nuts.
Specialty buyers continued to request Badami for predictable flavour and size in roasting and baking.
