Pistachio nuts ?!
I am munching into some pistachio nuts and was just wondering how they come packaged semi open in their shell, whereas almost all other nuts are prepackaged already shelled!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Botanically speaking pistachio nuts are not nuts but seeds, which is why when the fruit is ripe the outer shell opens up, unlike hazelnuts for example which are real nuts!.
The pistachio nuts are not opened by the producer, it's a natural process!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

dont bother getting them fully shelled!, cos then you will waste half of them because you either wont be able to open them or!.!. just break them in half hahaha

You can buy shelled pistachios, they're easily available at most supermarkets!. If you can't find them where the nuts are look in the baking ingredients section!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The plant does it all by itself! When the nut is ripe the shell splits open all on its own in a process biologists call "dehiscence"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can buy them shelled, if you want to pay 3 or 4 times the price for them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
