Pistachio nuts are most commonly sold with their clothes still on. No doubt this is because the shell is half of their charm. The pistachio reticence makes for rewarding snacking - shy enough to inspire effort but not so difficult as to make it hard work. Sure, pistachios must be shelled one by one but no skill or strength is required; they are the easy hard nut to crack.
Unlike a handful of cashews or peanuts, easily thrown down with a few chews for good measure, when I have to individually shell pistachios I slow down and
pay attention
to
every
one.
I enjoy them more than any other nut even though pistachios are technically seeds.

Ok... I also admit to happy inner-cartwheel moments
when I get to the bottom of a bowl
and discover the shell free nuts that shook loose in transit.
