American Pistachio Growers threw a pistachio party at the Clovis Farmer's Market in September. Chefs from the Institute of Technology created pistachio dishes including pistachio bark, pistachio cookies and pistachio pie for booth visitors to sample. Several local vendors joined the party by sharing their own pistachio treats.

On October 14, APG exhibited and sponsored a presentation at the Spazio Nutrition Conference in Italy. In his presentation, APG nutrition expert Giorgio Donegani spoke about the role of American pistachios in the Mediterranean Diet and announced the good news that pistachios are an antioxidant powerhouse.

Antioxidant by nature, American pistachios are rich in vitamins and mineral salts. Therefore they get along perfectly with the enthusiast in the long hours of snow sports.
