🇦🇪 DUBAI CHOCOLATE GOES VIRAL—AND MAY BE EATING THE WORLD'S PISTACHIOS
Thanks to TikTok and Costco, a pistachio-stuffed chocolate bar from Dubai has exploded in popularity—and with it, global pistachio supplies.
The $10 viral treat, inspired by Middle Eastern knafeh and made with kataifi dough and pistachio cream, is now reportedly fueling a nut shortage.
Prices jumped 35% in one year.
California’s harvest dropped 20%, and Iran’s exports to the UAE spiked 40%.
Experts say the pistachio market is “tapped out.”
