First Street Shelled Pistachios
What it is
These are shelled pistachios, meaning the hard outer shell has been removed, making them ready to eat or use in cooking. They are a popular snack and ingredient, known for their distinctive flavor and vibrant green and purple hues. The nuts are typically roasted and lightly salted, enhancing their natural taste. They come in a resealable bag for convenience.
