Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the "bright green" paste?
No. 100% pure pistachio paste naturally has an earthy, brownish-green color. Bright neon green pastes typically contain added dyes and vegetable oils. Using Mec3 100% Pure Paste signals to your customers that you are using an authentic, premium ingredient without additives.
Does it contain sugar?
This specific Mec3 SKU is unsweetened. This allows you to adjust the sugar levels in your own recipes independently, making it a versatile tool for both sweet and savory applications.
Is this product gluten-free and vegan?
Yes. Since the only ingredient is roasted pistachios, it is naturally vegan and gluten-free. It is an excellent way to add rich, healthy fats and protein to plant-based dessert menus.
How do I handle the oil separation?
Like high-quality natural peanut butter, the natural oils in pistachio will rise to the top over time. Use a heavy-duty spatula or a mechanical mixer to stir the pail until the paste is completely homogeneous before measuring it out for your recipes.
What is the shelf life once opened?
When stored in a cool, dry pantry and kept tightly sealed, the paste maintains its peak flavor for several months. Always use a clean, dry utensil to prevent cross-contamination, which can shorten the shelf life.
