Postharvest operations of pistachio nuts [PDF]
The most important postharvest operations of pistachio nuts including handling, transportation, green hull removal, dehydration, bulk storage and packaging of pistachios were studied. Results showed that air temperature had pronounced effect on drying time and air velocity didn't any significant effect on drying time. The entire drying process occurred

On the relative packing densities of pistachios and pistachio shells
Given an appetizer bowl full of $N$ pistachios, what is the optimal size of the container -- neither too small, nor too big -- needed for accommodating the resulting $2N$ non-edible pistachio shells? Performing a simple experiment we find that, provided the shells are densely packed, such container needs only be slightly more than half ($\approx 0.57$)
