The American Pistachio Growers kicked off the second annual Pistachio Week with local restaurants from around the valley Monday.

Pistachio Week is a celebration of the pistachio harvest season and runs from Aug. 28 through Sep. 2.

Local restaurants will join the festivities all week long with pistachio-infused menus.

Chef Kyle Gould, from The Lime Lite, shared one of their menu items, pistachio fried ice cream, in the kitchen with Central Valley Today.
