I love these little bad boys, my favorite kind of nut by far.

>>21557469 (OP)
Based, a shop near me sells them coated with some kind of salty/lime spice...could eat them all day

>>21557469 (OP)
Love pistachios but I'd never buy them shelled. The ROI on shelled nuts simply isn't worth it in today's hustle-and-bustle world.

>>21557469 (OP)
I love them. They are my favorite too, just plain and lightly salted. I could sit down with a full bowl and go to town unshelling them while watching a movie, but I recently discovered they affect my coumadin levels, dammit.

DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice shelled pistachio or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this pistachio and pop open another one!!!

Behold the pistachio inquisitor.

That looks eerily similar to my medical grade stainless steel pediatric vaginal dialator.

They're better in the shell so I can't just wreck handfuls. I don't know if they're the best nuts. Macadamia are delicious

>>21557522
Lmfao.

>>21557469 (OP)
They are fucking amazing. Expensive tho.

Daily reminder that pistachios grown in the US are most likely grown by the POM Wonderful corporation which uses recovered waste water from fracking to water their crops (they claim it's safe and an accepted practice)

Crack a few ‘stach nuts for me PissBro

>>21557514
>not using another dead shell to stab the next nut

>>21557555
Any officionado knows that macadamia wins the nut race

>>21557522
What's the thorn for in those?

>>21557858
The little girls pleasure?

Pistachio pesto is the tits. Made a batch last weekend

Really? The guy that owns POM Wonderful is a real ahole imo, he owns several other brands including Fiji Water

>>21558504
>Pistachio pesto
Ingredients? I never make regular pesto because I’ll end up with a bunch of leftover pine nuts that cost 50 million dollars

Earn your nut, wimp

yeah fuck the "Wonderful" company. Shit like this makes me wanna buy less pistachios.

i eat like, two bags of unsalted pistacios a week. i have been saving the shells, i dont know why, is there any use for them?
i heard that some people put them untop of the soil un their houseplants, but i only have 3 plants, a chilly and two cactuses, i doubt the cactuses would care. and i am going to kill my chillie in a few days because i am going to France for a month and i cant ask my neighbor to come over and water it because she is an asshole and i dont want her in my house while i am gone

nta, but the heart of a pesto is just an herb, a seed, and an oil, with a option to add (but highly recommended) an alum (usually garlic) and a cheese, and if you want to add other elements there's no one stopping you (such as peppers, vinegar, sugar [at min for balance], spices, etc.). The nuttiness already comes with the pistachios, so it'd just replace the pine nuts in any pesto recipe you'd normally use. Crush your pistachios so they are smaller and denser like a pine nut, and use the same amount by volume (or just weigh it). I've had a nice cilantro-walnut pesto with vinegar and serrano peppers that was quite good. Do wtv you'd like

mulch on top of soil is used to prevent the soil from drying out, esp from the sun. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. Could also just add to compost, doesn't really matter

>>21560013
i have like an entire trashbag full of just pistachio shells, ive also heard that some people put them in their wood stoves because the turn to a fine ash and helps air get to the wood enitially? but i dont have a wood stove. just a trashbag full of pistacio shells

>>21560020
yeah, nice that the shells are all dried out. Use/save however much u want for soil mulch, save however much u want for your next [perhaps couple] bonfires, compost the rest. Not the worst problem to have

>>21560028
that's not that many shells. Was expecting much more, lol. Adv is still the same

>>21560041
Awww, sorry to disappoint you, but it's a good 3 kilos atleast

>>21559132
p much what >>21560007 said. Recipe was just basil, olive oil, pistachios, and salt. Real simple. Blitzed together in a food processor. I'm not a huge fan of raw garlic so I left it out but it probably would have been beneficial in small amounts. Maybe parm too. Ideas for next time!

Cat indeed, catS even. Not deaf just rolls when he wants attention. I know we're not big on color mixing here but picrel is both my cats. I'm a fan. They whisper pesto recipes to me at night
