Kerman variety natural pistachios. Certified organic product from regenerative organic agriculture, grown in the highlands of southeastern Spain. They come from a soil and landscape restoration project that begins in Chirivel (Almería) and extends through the Almería highlands (Almanzora and Los Vélez), Granada (Highlands, Baza region, and Guadix region), and northwest Murcia. The taste of this variety of pistachio leaves an intense flavor on the palate, ideal for snacking or as a snack, for shelling and using in pesto, making ice cream or a cake. Pistachio crops in the highlands are recent, as it is not a native crop of the area, but it generates biodiversity compared to the almond monoculture that extends in the area for thousands of hectares and adapts very well to the climate and rainfall of the highlands. Organic farming does not add products that may be harmful to health. Regenerative techniques make it possible for the ecosystem in these highlands with extreme temperatures between winter and summer, with a tendency to desertification, to generate an ecosystem and restore the soil and landscape. In this way, not only are nutrients extracted from the soil, but they are also added, capturing more CO2 and positively contributing to the natural environment than a crop grown only organically. The practices carried out include, among others:

• Vegetative cover, with native plants from the specific terrain that are later added to the soil or used as feed for extensive livestock that eat and deposit them on the soil, adding their contribution to fertilizer.
• Creation of semi-natural ponds and infiltration ditches for rainwater, so that rains do not wash away fertile soil and water can remain to naturally irrigate crops.
• Planting of hedges and aromatic plants to create an ecosystem and attract pollinators.
• Placement of panels with bees.
• Etc.
