Garlic & Onion Pistachios

"Under ordinary circumstances, pistachios are among our favorite nuts (while technically not nuts, but rather seeds, pistachios will henceforth and heretofore be known as nuts for the culinary and gastronomical purposes of this Fearless Flyer and its successors, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera). When circumstances veer from ordinary-say, when someone dusts those rich, flavorful pistachios with Garlic & Onion, they become quite nearly irresistible.

Irresistible is exactly how we'll describe Trader Joe's Garlic & Onion Pistachios. These are California-grown, in-shell pistachios, dry roasted and dusted with a robust blend of garlic, onion, and sea salt. Some folks like to pop whole pistachios into their mouths, shell and all, to make sure they get all the flavor. Other folks prefer to remove the shell first. We make no judgements, other than the only proper pistachio proclamation... yum!"
