Pistachios - when you get a bad one...?!


Question: You know how every so often when you eat pistachios, you get one that is unbelievably sour, bitter, and bad tasting that you need to spit it out? Is there anything unhealthy about occasionally consuming one? They taste so terrible they leave me the feeling they could be poisonous.

It's not poisonous. Boy when you get a good one (and you usually do) it's great but when it's bad - it's really rotten.

Thank you Report It

  • They are not dangerous, but your urine may temporarily turn blue.

    no there nothing rong with it.
    i eat it all the time.
    i think they are probly burnt.
    that is just my opinion.

    P.S. your urine will not turn blue. LOL!

    Rancid... not poisonous.

    I eat a lot of pistachios and yes they are sometimes bitter. I have never had a problem with eating the bitter ones. I do however occasionally (not often) find a type of moth in the place of the nut and the roasting/salting process makes it look just like a nut. So check it out before you down the thing. I'm totally serious dude.

    noo, they aren't poisonous, if they were, then some big corporation would be liable for alot of wrongful deaths and poisoning cases
