    They're a healthy snack. I like them, but I don't buy the dyed ones. I get the tan ones from the co-op.

    I used to love them. I would just plow through a shitload of them, just popping open the shells and tossing 'em in my mouth... never really looking at what I was eating. Then one day I bit down on one and it tasted very bitter and disgusting. I spit it out and saw that there was a mealworm or something that had made a cocoon around the nut, and the worm was moving around inside the nut.:eek: I guess what I tasted was the worm guts or something.. it was fucking gross!! I don't really eat them anymore.. but if I do, I make sure to inspect each nut before I pop it into my mouth.

    This is why even when I do eat them - I'm afraid! Cause I've gotten a couple bad ones in my time too - blech! :p

    Probably due to them having an incredible amount of fat and calories.

    They are definitely delicious, but really need to be eaten in small quantities in order to maintain the "health benefit" of eating them.

    Pistachios are ace but I fucking hate it when the shells are completely closed so you can't get to them, plus shelled pistachios look so gross that I only ever buy them with the shells left on, which means I just have to accept the fact that a good portion of them will be trapped forever :(

    shit...I didn't realize they were so fattening. But it's a good fat :D

    pistachios are GREAT for you! (and good for weight management)
    you don't need to eat a cup of them...1/4 cup/handful servings are the best way to go with these dudes.

    they add protein, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins to your diet...
    and they're cholesterol-free and good for your ticker.

    pistachios do a body good. :)
