pistachios
Baklava's green bits
Pistachios is the plural of pistachio, a small greenish nut with a partially split shell.
The shells crack open as the nut matures, making them easy to eat by hand: a bowl of pistachios.
Pistachio also refers to the pale yellow-green color of the nut's interior: pistachio ice cream.
