Why is pistachio ice cream green? I really don't think that's natural!?

I know that pistachios are sorta kinda greenish, but I think whoever developed pistachio ice cream went a little overboard.Why is pistachio ice cream green? I really don't think that's natural!?
I've made homemade pistachio ice cream, pureeing the pistachios in a blender, and it was basically a cream color - only the very lightest hint of green. Others have found that it turns a light green. It depends on the pistachios you use, apparently.





However, when you're putting flavored ice cream out in a display, like at an ice cream shop such as Baskin %26amp; Robbins, you need to be able to identify it by sight. Eighteen different ';white'; ice creams just don't look interesting. Since pistachios ARE green, that's the color they added. That's what people expect when they buy pistachio ice cream, so most manufacturers still add the green coloring.





By the way, homemade is WAY better.Why is pistachio ice cream green? I really don't think that's natural!?
i think that when you puree the nut oil comes out and intensifies the colour that's just my opinion not fact . but how green is it where you come from i ve not seen it really dark . i live in Scotland UK
No way! The greener the ice cream the better the flavor!
because they make it out of ca ca. ewwwwwwwww
Like people's hair, nowadays food can be whatever colour the manufacturer wants it to be including pistachios that are greener than pistachios.
from carrageenan (extracted from seaweed) or food coloring
Coloring is added...If you get Ben and Jerry's Pistachio,Pistachio ice cream it is white not green and their ice cream is a natural as you can get!
no doubt they add colouring to it
pistachios are green
get some natural pistachios, crack 'em open, LOOK AT THE NUT, HELOOOOO!!
