Pistachio harvest is expected to be the largest ever this growing season, but they are in high demand.
Pistachio popularity has been largely driven by a demand for “Dubai Chocolate.” Some even believe the dessert’s craze has sparked a shortage in pistachio supplies, according to the Financial Times.
Dubai Chocolate is a take on the cocoa-based classic, but with a twist. The chocolate is filled with a pistachio paste and kadayif mixture, resulting in a crunchy and sweet treat. It originates from the Middle East and gained popularity amongst influencers on TikTok.
