It is stronger than ''Pistacia terebinthus'', where it is used as rootstock in Ukraine and the United States for growing ''Pistacia vera'', but resists frost better than ''P. terebinthus''. It is important to combat soil erosion. It strengthens the soil, and is used for reforestation of arid and steep slopes and against landslides. It is a typical urban street tree in the Black Sea cities. The seeds, like pistachio, are edible oil seeds, like nuts, and contain up to 60% fat. Candy made with ''P. atlantica'' in Turkish are called ''tsukpi pistachio''. Sometimes, the immature fruit is harvested and eaten with sour milk. The plant contains a resin, used as chewing gum in Kevan, Turkey, where it is called ''kevove'' rubber tree. The resin is used to manufacture alcohol and lacquer. Its essential oils are used in perfume industry. The leaves are rich in tannins, up to 20% in the galls caused by an aphid parasite, used as the raw material for tanning in the leather industry. The sap is dried and used as incense, and its smoke releases a pleasant smell to the local environment for celebrations and religious ceremonies, as "incense". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pistacia atlantica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
