Pistachio is having a moment — 08/21/2025

A HIPPO cover with Dubai chocolate bars displayed in a tasty way under the words "Pistachio is having a moment"

On the cover

It’s not just the Dubai-style chocolate you see above and on this week’s cover — pistachio is showing up in all sorts of foods and beverages. John Fladd takes a look at this popular-again nut.


Also on the cover: Prepare to get lunch (and dinner and maybe lunch and dinner again) at Greekfest at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Manchester this Saturday and Sunday (page 16). Also this weekend, find some new-to-you beers at Gate City Brewfest (page 16). The Actorsingers take on the puppetry of
Avenue Q (page 12).
