Why are pistachios open when you buy them in the store!? How do they get opened!? Do they get boiled, and then salted!? How can I buy pistachios that are already out of their shell!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Usually the pistachios have been roasted, which cracks the shells!. You can buy them shelled wherever you buy nuts, but you may need to get them at a grocery store or health food store rather than a smaller place with just convenience foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The roasting process causes them to dry and open!. Yes, I have seen them out of the shells, too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
