Soon after I ordered them, (Pistachios, Shelled, Raw* - 5 Lb Bag / Box Each
by Angelina's Gourmet), I got this box in the mail with an unmarked 5lb bag of pistachios in it.
I looked around to make sure no one could see me as I opened the box.
Into the plain plastic bag, I dove in and started to slam back the wrinkled nutty goodness into my pie hole:They were fresh and amazing! I eat a LOT of salads, and like them for snacks and they are amazing in bread. I ate them all in a scary amount of time! It was like I had this private stash of pistachio happiness and I didn't share them with anyone! Oh the horror of having harbored such a marvelous treat all to myself! Not a single kernel shared! So many, and I could have offered them to my nut-less friends and to the under-nutted strangers who passed me by with a hunger in their eyes...But they are all gone now....snif. I think I'll order more:this time I will share...I hope.
-The Pistachio Nut

I prefer shelled & unsalted pistachios, which are harder to find than salted, unshelled pistachios. These are as good as they get, though salt-lovers might should try unsalted pistachios before they actually make a purchase (5 lbs. will last quite a while even if you like them as much as I do). This is no-frills packaging, which is probably why the price per pound is less than store-bought pistachios. The entire 5 lbs. comes double-bagged (in 2 sturdy clear plastic bags cushioned with packing material) inside a plain cardboard shipping box... no fancy packaging, just very good shelled unsalted pistachios (exactly what I ordered).

I have been buying mixed nuts in 5 pound lots, and thought I would try getting our most used nut in 5 pounds. However, it seems like they might be rather stale before we finish. Still, the overall quality is fine.
