Fandoghi
A tier
Fandoghi is the classic Iranian round pistachio type that supplies high export volume. Kernels are sweet with good green character in a compact roundish shape favoured for snacking and many confectionery uses. As a shape class and market type, it anchors Iranian catalogues alongside longer and jumbo forms. Consistency and volume made it a global trade staple rather than a tiny boutique lot. Expect familiar sweet-savoury pistachio flavour without extreme elongation. Fresh Fandoghi should be aromatic and clean; dusty or yellow lots failed storage. Excellent for salted snacks, chopped baklava, and everyday paste when premium long types are unnecessary. Grade by size counts used in Iranian export practice when buying at scale.

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