What Are Pistachios? Pistachio is a dry fruit from the pistachio tree; a small tree with origins in the Middle East and Central Asia. The pistachio tree belongs to the cashew family. Their fruit is a drupe that contains an elongated seed; it is this seed that people eat. The seed is a culinary nut, rather than a botanical nut, and has a distinct flavour.
