These are shelled pistachios, meaning the hard outer shell has been removed, leaving the edible green and purple nut inside. They are ready to eat straight from the package. Pistachios are known for their distinct flavor and satisfying crunch. They are a popular snack and ingredient in many culinary applications. This product offers convenience for those who prefer not to shell the nuts themselves.
