I love pistachios. When I was a young teen, I used to buy little boxes of Turkish grown Zenobia brand pistachio nuts from the candy store. The shells were red and they turned your fingers pink. They were small, but they were really delicious. When I got older I didn't see those little pistacios anymore. Now California is growing pistachios and they are huge by comparison. They look better, but they don't have as much taste. If you love pistachios, I highly recommend getting Turkish ones.
