Do those parts have names? I'm trying so hard to know what they're called.

In part because I just want to eat the crunchy pistachio skin pieces.

      The aril is a different thing. The juicy red parts around pomegranate seeds which we eat are arils, as is the white part of a lychee that we eat.

      The papery, fibrous part around the cotyledons of a peanut or pistachio is called a seed coat. If you want fun words, you can call this the testa.
