Turkish Antep Pistachios - 2.5 lbs (40oz) Premium Quality Kosher Roasted Pistachios By We Got Nuts - Natural & Healthy Rich Flavor Snack - Whole & Salted – Air-Tight Resealable Bag Package…

These Turkish pistachios are the same ones you grew up with in the 1960's and 70's. The only difference is that they are not dyed red like in the old days. Other than in specialty shops and Amazon, these pistachios are practically impossible to find anywhere else. Do not be confused, these are not the bigger California pistachios that you can just about anywhere. These are smaller, and in my humble opinion, have more flavor than the bigger California pistachios. So, if you are a child of the 60's and 70's and remember the red dyed pistachios at the Sears candy counter, then these are the pistachios for you! Plus, your fingers will not have red dye on them for days!

Great pistachio nuts. Delicious! Took quite some time for the nuts to arrive. Possibly due to the snow storm. I will order again, just maybe not in the winter.

These pistachios have no taste not even close to the Turkish pistachios I used to get and at 26 dollars I feel like I have been robbed never again will I purchase from this company

AMAZING. I am definitely partial to the middle eastern variety of pistachio rather than the I don’t know what it is but that not that they grow in California. I was insanely surprised, the price point is great, these are literally the best Turkish pistachios I’ve had, they’re perfectly salty without a ton of salty residue all over your hands, incredibly fresh like they were just roasted, the flavor was superb and very few unopened nuts, the nuts were pristine, to be honest I’m in shock, I feel like this was a big purchase where each nut was hand-picked to put in the bag!! I’m praying they never change their supplier, As all the other Middle Eastern salted roasted pistachios are never this immaculate!

Good everything is all that I can say about these pistachios, and ZERO unopened nuts so far. That's a tough hurdle to jump, along with total freshness, good roast, texture and flavor. I hope that one year from now I'm still one of the regular customers of We Got Nuts. Rev.1 1/17/2025: I'm getting a high percentage of unopened nuts; much higher than prior purchases. The flavor is OK, but it's not great, it's not unique or distinctive. Although over 5% of the nuts are unopened, I found .001% of loose, but edible, kernels which lost their shells - these were picked out by the packer. There are better sources this season. Also, I wonder why, with the recent collapse of the Turkish Lira, the price of these nuts hasn't budged to reflect the devaluation.

Always a good product, but it has become pricey. Turkish Pistachios are the best. I've been ordering from "We Got Nuts" for years and they never disappoint me. Good quality and great taste.

> The pistachios that I purchased in the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul were fabulous (albeit about $60/pound) --- so, I looked for a source here at home. No luck with these. > Maybe I got a bad bag. But the WeGotNuts pistachios were FAR inferior to ordinary California pistachios. They were small and comparatively tasteless. Most were tight in the shells, suggesting that they were picked when immature. Needed more salt. They were not stale, so I can't blame it on poor storage. > And the kicker is that the WeGotNuts pistachios are 3x or 4x more expensive than far-superior ordinary grocery store California pistachios > UPDATE: I purchased two packages (different brands) of Turkish pistachios in a local Mediterranean grocery, which were nearly identical in appearance as the WeGotNuts pistachios (but a little larger and a little looser in their shells). They were also about 1/2 the price of WeGotNuts pistachios, but not noticeably more flavorful. Perhaps the Turks keep the premium pistachios at home, and export the lower quality pistachios (which is actually quite common with many products). > SECOND UPDATE: Today, in Jan 2024, I purchased some pistachios in a different Eastern Mediterranean grocery, which were much better --- not quite Istanbul Spice Market quality, but better than any others I've bought in the US. Maybe the 2023 crop is in, and it was better than 2022?

This was my third order of the Turkish pistachios and, frankly, I was disappointed in that it was decidedly “not salty“. I checked the package a number of times to make sure it did not say no salt or lightly salted. The pistachios were fresh, however.
