I love that these are packaged and ready to go. My kids like to take them for lunch and I like to just grab a bag as a snack. I used to use those little snack-sized ziploc bags and package my own, but it is time consuming and you have to remember the expiration date as you no longer have the original bag.
My shipments have never been old or near expiration. I have had that happen with other things and have gotten a replacement if they have actually been expired. The nuts have been nice quality and hardly any bad ones. I have had a few, but no more than in a big bag of nuts.
Sometimes I find that they only have a tiny crack, and are difficult to open with my fingers. A nice trick to open them (without having to get out a cracker or pound them...and not use your teeth!) is to just use a shell from one you already cracked. Use push the tip in the tiny crack like a little pry tool and twist. I hardly have any I can't open that way...only the ones with NO crack. We sort of discovered this method when we had a bag on the beach and no tools...but were hungry. Necessity breeds invention! You will feel just like those videos of animals learning to use tools! ha ha!!
If you like natural pistachios, these are decent ones. There are few unopenable shells, and there are very few "bad" nuts, (always seems to be some no matter the source) so mostly, about 95% are very good. What I was most impressed with was the quality packaging for each small serving of nuts. The plastic is very strong yet yields to a good tear at the serrated end of the packet, and one senses a complete seal against moisture of any kind. I think you could float these in water with no ill effects, such is the quality of the individual packs. Overall, very good quality.
These are the perfect size and you can’t beat the price on here- I ordered and without reading the reviews and I’m so glad I didn’t (yikes!). I haven’t had any problems with my packages and I’m about 2/3 of the way through the box now. I get maybe one nut in a package that is either burnt or completely closed up which is pretty on par with the ones I buy from the store (I included a picture of the latest one I found in a package but it’s really not a big deal at all). Will be ordering these again in the future!
Pistachios, what's not to love? Handy snack size, salted just right, only complaint is I did notice a few with rotting. Not a huge deal as this is uncommon.
We can't all be perfect, and my most annoying (although far from more serious) flaw is my love for pistachios and inability to eat a reasonable amount of them. These wonderfully (see what I did there?) sized packages really help. Go buy some (when the price is reasonable).

Description
Wonderful Pistachios
I bought these to take to work. I would have given it 5 stars on portion size but I LOVE pistachios and could eat like 3 bags at once... But for a quick snack it's perfect. You don't over eat nor do you consume too much salt. I'll definitely keep this product around.
Excellent taste, very fresh, bags were all full, not just filled 3/4 of way like most things today to make more money off of it. Highly recommend product and merchant. Super fast shipping.
I really love how these are individually packed, with just enough in each pack to help with my mid day hunger. The nuts are very fresh, high quality, and simple to open and eat. When really hungry, I will eat more than one pack. Unlike buying in bulk, the remaining nuts remain fully sealed until I am ready to eat them. It may be a bit more expensive this way, but it is worth it to me. I would actually choose the shelled pistachios the next time.... so it is a bit quicker to eat. But I like these too... and definitely never the RED ones! This is a good brand and I recommend you try them!
Love these! The small bags are perfect for taking to work for lunch and they are a great portion size. Not too small and not too big. These are one of my favorite snacks!
Fresh, perfect size to toss in your bag, purse, or lunch. Great snack with major portability. I love pistachios and being able to keep them in my purse makes eating healthy snacks so much easier.
