Rotten pistachios (then ones that taste "different") can contain high amounts of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is being researched for links to liver cancer.

That being said I eat a ton of them.

A whole lot - nuts are the best snack but pistachios are the easiest to eat (if shelled, of course)

If I had them shelled,probably a quart or so. I’ve knocked down several 12 oz packs before.

When I was in HS in Memphis my friend's 1st job was at Carter's Nuts. He'd bring in bags of pistachios and chestnuts and stuff all the time.

Soooo, splitting a 5lb bag during study hall and leaving the floor littered with white salted shells, about 2.5lbs.

This was in 1978-79 before California really entered the National/International pistachio market, Iran/Iraq import mostly. This was right as the Iranian Revolution deposing the Shah took place so the price of pistachios skyrocketed.

My 18 month old recently discovered how much he loves pistachios. The first time he ate them, the two of us probably put down 1/2 bag of the pre-shelled from Costco...his next diaper looked like it was full of chunky peanut butter

I have a 3lb bag from Sam’s and I’m fairly certain I could eat it in one sitting*

*assuming I could keep my kids from swooping in and bogarting 2/3 of the bag

I just bypass the pistachio's now and have pistachio cream injected straight into my veins.

actually it depends on if they are shelled or not. if they still have the shell, i'd only eat a handful. they're too much of a pain in the arse to open. if they are shelled, i will eat until the bag is empty.


I’m the opposite. I feel like the few seconds between each one as I shell them prevents me from getting full.

If I had an endless supply, I could eat them till my hands started severely cramping or bleeding or something

I loathe those little bastards.

They taste fine but the wife (no pics) likes the shelled ones. 2 or 3 nights a week she cracks the damn things with all the subtlety of a tree limbs breaking. When she’s mad at me it’s more often. I have snuck more bags in the trash than I’m willing to admit.

Remember when they would turn your fingertips pink? What was that all about?

A friend of mine will head straight to the bin in the grocery store where they have their bulk supply. He grabs a big handful and eats them as he shops while dropping the shells on the floor. I don’t think they’ve ever said anything to him about it.
