As it is, chop bananas and nuts (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pistachios

'nuts' is the definition.
(pistachio is a kind of nut)

'as it is chop bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' is an anagram indicator (informal term for mad).
'as'+'it'+'is'+'chop'='asitischop'
'asitischop' with letters rearranged gives 'PISTACHIOS'.

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
