À l’origine un simple snack devenu un ingrédient pour les cafés au lait et les cocktails, ou encore une mode et une tendance, la pistache est toujours en vogue. Effectivement, mis à part son goût délicieux et sa valeur nutritionnelle, source riche en vitamines B aidant à combattre l’anémie, ces dernières années, il y a eu une tendance à incorporer la couleur de la pistache sur les sacs, les chaussures et les projets de décoration intérieure. Cela s’explique par son association au monde naturel et à la sensation de tranquillité qu’elle évoque. En outre, le parfum de la pistache est utilisé de plus en plus dans les bougies et les parfums.
Même l’industrie des cosmétiques a adopté cette arachide incroyable qui aide à contrôler l’acné et soigner les cicatrices.
Nous sommes tous de plus en plus intéressés par les questions de santé et de nutrition. Par conséquent, la demande en aliments fonctionnels, en produits à étiquette propre et ingrédients à base de plantes guide nos choix dans les épiceries. Parlons chiffres : la production mondiale de pistaches a déjà augmenté d’environ 50 % au cours des dix dernières années et devrait exploser d’ici 2029. Les desserts parfumés à la pistache envahissent les restaurants, les boulangeries et les supermarchés, et #pistache est partout sur les réseaux sociaux, atteignant 2,2 millions seulement pour le tag.
In the kitchen, pistachio is now used to replace pine nuts in pesto and as a filling for tortellini, as crusts on meats, a secret ingredient in cocktails, or as a colour twist to Danish pastry when combined with cardamom. It also has the potential to be the next popular plant-based milk due to its lower water requirements compared to other nut-based alternatives and great taste as a dairy substitute. What does it have to do with coffee then?
Pistachio and coffee is not something new: Turkish people have been making their coffee with pistachio for ages. It’s called menengiç coffee, a delicious beverage caffeine-free made from the roasted pistachio tree seeds known as terebinth and turpentine tree. In Italy, this recipe’s roots are found in Sicily, which has always been a melting pot of cultures. Indeed, it is from this part – legend has it from Palermo – that coffee is enriched with pistachios, in cream poured at the bottom of the cup before coffee. It became an international obsession when, in 2019, a well-known coffeehouse chain introduced a popular line-up of pistachio drinks. Since then, thousands of coffee shops’ menus have featured pistachio coffee or pistachio-flavoured cold brew with cold foam and a hot or iced pistachio latte. It’s definitely time to take it home and make it exactly as you like it.
Flavoured coffee has been a part of the coffee world for centuries, as flavouring enhances and intensifies coffee’s taste, resulting in a pleasurable experience for coffee enthusiasts. The process of flavouring coffee is both a science and an art though: coffee beans usually contain over 800 compounds that contribute to their unique flavour. For this reason, you may think that the only way to enjoy coffee with flavours like our so-much-loved pistachio is by visiting a fancy café or a roastery. No need to grab your car’s keys: it is now possible (and easy) to embrace the long-lasting affinity between coffee and pistachio in our coffee corners at home. How?
