It’s green, it’s delicate, it’s delicious — and above all, it’s everywhere. Ice creams, pastries, entremets, savory dishes, plant-based drinks… pistachio has established itself as the star ingredient of the year in professional kitchens.
At BRUYERRE, we closely follow the trends that shape your menus, displays, and creations. Today, we explain why pistachio has become indispensable and how to integrate it into your recipes to surprise and delight your customers.
Why such a craze for pistachio ?
1. An irresistible visual
With its natural green hue, pistachio attracts the eye and offers an elegant contrast with other ingredients. It enhances both desserts and savory plates with refinement.
2. A subtle and sophisticated taste
Pistachio delivers a soft, buttery, and lightly roasted flavor. Less sweet than hazelnut, more refined than almond, it seduces palates looking for new taste experiences.
3. A “healthy” touch
Rich in plant-based proteins, fibers, antioxidants, and gluten-free, pistachio ticks all the boxes for health-conscious consumers. It is suitable for vegetarian, flexitarian, and gluten-free diets.
4. A chameleon ingredient
It comes in every form : paste, cream, pieces, powder, oil, whole or roasted. A real asset for innovating without changing your foundations.
A real advantage for professionals
Adopting pistachio in your preparations means:
✅ Following a strong and current trend
✅ Elevating your creations with a premium image
✅ Attracting a clientele seeking original and high-quality products
✅ Gaining versatility (sweet/savory, summer/winter, base/finishing)
BRUYERRE tip : No need to reinvent everything ! Simply add a touch of pistachio to your existing recipes to give them a modern twist without losing your culinary identity.

Great stories have personality. Consider telling a great story that adds personality. Writing a story with personality for potential customers will help build a relationship. This translates into small details like word or sentence choice. Write from your perspective, not someone else's experience.
Les grandes histoires sont pour tout le monde, même lorsqu'elles ne sont écrites que pour une seule personne. Si vous essayez d'écrire en pensant à un public large et général, votre histoire sonnera fausse et manquera d'émotion. Personne ne sera intéressé. Ecrire pour une personne en particulier signifie que si c'est authentique pour l'un, c'est authentique pour le reste.
