Why are some pistachios red? The first pistachios available to consumers were imported from the Middle East. American importers dyed the shells red, both to disguise staining from antiquated harvesting methods and to make pistachios stand out among other nuts in vending machines.

Until the 1970s, there was no domestic pistachio industry in the United States. California harvested its first commercial crop in 1976. The entry of California pistachios into the marketplace made available nuts with clean, naturally tan shells. California's Kerman variety is also larger in size with a more vibrant green nut color. A small percentage of California's crop is dyed red, not by necessity, but to meet the needs of those consumers who prefer the colorful shell.
