Have you noticed how pistachios seem to be everywhere these days, from coffee shops to popular TikTok videos? One big reason for their popularity is that they are widely available. For example, in California, where most U.S. pistachios are grown, farmers produce such a large quantity that the crop brings in billions of dollars for the state every year. Pistachio trees also adapt well to harsh environments, enabling them to thrive in hot, dry regions. Another reason for pistachios’ appeal is their luxurious image.
你是否有注意到，從咖啡廳到熱門的 TikTok 影片，如今開心果似乎隨處可見？它們受歡迎的一大原因是供應充足。例如，在美國大部分開心果的產地加州，農夫的產量龐大，每年可為該州帶來數十億美元的收益。開心果樹也十分適應惡劣環境，這讓它們能在炎熱乾燥的地區茁壯成長。開心果充滿吸引力的另一個原因是其奢華的形象。
