AZNUT Turkish Antep Roasted Salted Pistachios 1 LB, 100% Natural Premium Quality Class A, Non GMO Project Certified, Kosher Certified, Great Snacks, Resealable Bag 1 LB

It has been decades since I tasted that true, all natural Pistachio flavor. True Pistachios grow best between Iran and Turkey and that is the taste you get here. They don't look pretty on the outside with their earthly brown, heavily roasted sheen but once you get paste the shell the perfectly salted kernels range between kermit green to Sage green...in short the perfect shade of the true Pistachio color. What I first noticed was real pistachio flavor: The flavor that is missing from the Jumbo America pistachio. With these Aznut Pistachio that all natural Pistachio flavor doesn't hit your pallet until you completely chew and swallow the luscious green kernel (Try this. Just eat one kernel. The taste hits you about one second after you swallow it). Fantastic! A taste from heaven itself! Another bonus is the real salt grains that perfectly coat each pistachio. No salt paste here just all natural and lightly coated real salt. Finally and most important is the number of "good kernel" you get in each handful/bag. I would say that only about three or four out of one hundred Pistachios are "bad" meaning rotted brown, yellow. or over cooked. This is way, way less than an average bag of California or Florida pistachios that have up to 60 % of the bag full of off color, yellow/brown kernels or those green on the fringe but all brown in the middle kernels. A complete waste of money, time and taste. That does not happen with these Aznut Pistachios. In short, If you want that REAL, true green Pistachio flavor that only the Middle East can truly provide, then these are the Pistachios for you. Do Pistachios vary from season too season? Yes, so results may vary depending on time of year...But I will close with this. Aznut Pistachios at their least are better than any any Pistachio grown elsewhere and at their best (which is most of the year) Aznut Pistachios are the real deal, true Pistachios flavor. Enjoy!

There were lots of closed shells, need a cracker to open them. Great taste though.

For many years, I ordered a different brand of Turkish pistachios and they were excellent. I saw that these were also Turkish Antep nuts, but a couple dollars cheaper and thought I would try a pound. Unfortunately, these were awful. First, the taste ranged from bland to bitter with most on the bitter side. Second, about every fifth nut was not open making around 20% of the bag inedible. Third, there was not enough salt on the nuts. Fourth, there is no mechanism on Amazon to return or exchange this product and no way to even complain. In the past, I have ordered nuts and been sent the wrong item, but Amazon quickly refunded my purchase price and shipped the right item. Not for these nuts, so all I can do is throw them out and write this warning. Seriously, don’t buy these pistachios. There is something not right about them and the lack of access to complain or ask for a refund suggests to me that they may know how awful they are and are dumping an inferior product.

Satisfy with the taste.. I have had Turkish pistachios before that tasted so much better. And tasted too generic. What got me to buy was the description that said 100% natural premium quality class A. Will most likely not buy this brand.. will most likely buy it locally for half the price.

Good quality
