Crav'n Roasted & Salted Pistachios
What it is
These are whole pistachios that have been roasted to enhance their natural flavor and texture. A touch of salt is added to complement the nutty taste. They come shelled, making them ready to eat straight from the bag. The roasting process brings out a deeper, more complex flavor profile compared to raw nuts. The salt provides a pleasant counterpoint to the inherent sweetness of the pistachio kernel.
