Pistachios are the best! They are addicting and I actually kind of enjoy that I have to work for them. They also remind me of my dad, they are his favorite and he would be content with receiving a giant bag of pistachios as a gift for every single holiday.
Pistachios grow on a tree that originated in Persia and they are now growing in several various countries including the USA.
Pistachios were originally dyed red or green to hide the stains on the shells that were caused by picking them by hand. Now they are dyed for commercial purposes and they are also now picked by machines.

I like pistachios as they are, I'm not a fan of pistachio pudding or ice cream.
What about you? Do you like pistachios, are you a fan of the nut in other types of food?

Yep, I love pistachios! I haven't tried the ice cream, but I definitely want to try it sometime in the future! I'd love to try the pudding too. Pistachios are great just by themselves! =)
I often wondered why they dyed them red when I was a girl! I hated the red fingertips and avoided eating them for that very reason. I love them now that they are left au natural.
love, love, love pistachios
