Although you have to work to get these pistachios out of their little white shells, getting to each kernel will feel like opening a gift. With the same happy feeling! These nuts are sold roasted and salted, complementing their natural flavour. If you prefer raw, you can go to their shelled brothers (green pistachio kernels). Pistachio kernels are a green nut of Cashew family. These roasted and salted pistachios are grown in the USA, have no preservatives added, and are non-GMO. Delicious and flexible, they are lightly salted with a sharp nutty taste and firm texture. A wonderful, easy snack and flexible cooking ingredient.
