{"product_id":"nuts-41830","title":"Unsalted roasted pistachios in shells (Aegina)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted Unsalted Pistachios in Shell (Aegina)\u003c\/strong\u003e are a beloved nut with a distinctive aroma, full flavor and pleasant crunch. Their natural shells open to reveal the greenish-yellow kernel, which makes for an easy snack. Roasting brings out the pistachios’ flavor, while the absence of added salt lets their natural character shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are pistachios in shell?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePistachios come from the \u003cem\u003ePistacia vera\u003c\/em\u003e tree. They grow inside a hard, light-colored shell that usually splits naturally as they ripen. The kernel is green and yellow, with a thin skin that can be pink or purple. Pistachios associated with Aegina hold a special place in Greek gastronomy. The name of this listing does not replace documentation of origin or PDO certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoasted without added salt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis variety is offered roasted and unsalted. Roasting gives the pistachios a more pronounced aroma and crunchy texture, without the need to add seasonings. Since no salt is added, the pistachios’ natural flavor remains at the forefront. They are an ideal choice for those who prefer a snack with a cleaner flavor profile or want to control the amount of salt they add to their diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlavor and texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kernel has a rich, nutty flavor, a subtle natural sweetness and a pleasant crunch. Opening the shell is part of the eating experience. Small variations in size, how much the shell has opened and the color of the kernel are normal. Remove the shell before eating and avoid biting into hard pieces of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutritional characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePistachios contain plant protein, fiber and fats, including unsaturated fatty acids. They also provide nutrients such as vitamin B6, copper and phosphorus. They are an energy-dense food, so portion size matters. Exact nutritional values depend on the product and are listed on the official label. “Unsalted” means that no salt has been added; it does not mean that the product is entirely free of naturally occurring sodium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to enjoy them\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAs a snack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe the pistachios in shell in a small bowl and enjoy them on their own. Removing the shells naturally slows down the pace of eating, making them an ideal snack for moments of relaxation. Serve them to guests or enjoy them during a break in your day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn salads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove the shells, roughly chop the kernels and add them to salads with leafy greens, beetroot, arugula or roasted vegetables. Their crunchy texture creates a pleasant contrast with softer ingredients. They pair well with olive oil, lemon and light dressings, with no need for additional salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn desserts and creative recipes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShelled kernels can be used in cookies, cakes, chocolate desserts and cream-based desserts. They also go well with rice, bulgur and vegetable dishes. Add them just before serving to preserve their crunch and bring out their aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings from Spices Bazaar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an assortment of nuts, pair the pistachios in shell with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nuts-40953\"\u003ePecan Nuts\u003c\/a\u003e from Spices Bazaar.
