Wonderful Roasted & Salted Pistachios
What it is
These are pistachios that have been roasted to bring out their natural nutty flavor and then lightly salted. Roasting changes the texture, making them crispier than raw nuts. The salt enhances the taste, providing a savory counterpoint to the rich, earthy notes of the pistachio kernel. They are a popular snack, often enjoyed straight from the shell.
