Pistacho: The Nutty Indica Relaxer
The History of Pistacho
Pistacho is an indica-dominant strain created by crossing G-13 (a potent, resinous classic) with Mendo Purps (known for its rich purple buds and relaxing effects). Bred in Northern California during the mid-2010s, Pistacho quickly earned a reputation for its unique nutty aroma and consistently calming high. It’s become a go-to for anyone seeking gentle relief without feeling overly sedated.
Terpene profile: Nutty and relaxing
In Pistacho, myrcene takes center stage, lending a mellow, earthy base that soothes both mind and body. Caryophyllene adds a peppery, spicy warmth, while limonene weaves in a subtle citrus lift to keep the overall buzz balanced. Together, these terpenes craft a deeply relaxing effect—perfect for unwinding after a long day without completely knocking you out.
Flavors: Nutty, sweet, and earthy
On the inhale, Pistacho greets you with a warm, roasted-nut sweetness, reminiscent of freshly shelled pistachios. Mid-draw, gentle earthiness emerges, grounding the flavor profile. The exhale finishes with a light herbal spice and a hint of sugary dough—like enjoying a nut-studded pastry fresh from the oven. It’s a smooth, comforting smoke that invites slow, relaxed puffs.
