  • Question
    After the actual nut has been removed from the shell, can I eat the brown skin of the nut?
    Community Answer
    Of course! I find the skin to have a lot of flavor. When you eat a pistachio, notice how some of the skin sticks to it anyway.

  • Question
    Which nut is best for the heart -- almonds or pistachios?
    Community Answer
    Both nuts are good for your heart and low in calories in comparison to other nuts, so whichever you prefer will work fine. Remember to consume them as part of a balanced diet though, in small quantities.

  • Question
    How do I open a pistachio while it's inside my mouth?
    Community Answer
    Bite down on the shell just enough so that it splits open without becoming two pieces. Take it out of your mouth and split in two with your fingers.

    How many pistachios can I eat if I am trying to lose weight?

    There are 158 calories, 12.6 grams of fat, and 7.93 grams of carbs in 1 ounce of pistachios. How many you eat depends on the number of calories you want to consume in a day.

  • Question
    Are pistachio shells edible?
    Community Answer
    No, they are not. Don’t try to bite down on them or chew them because they will almost certainly crack a tooth.

  • Question
    I accidentally blended a few pistachios in their shells along with other nuts, into a paste. Is this edible?
    Leon
    Community Answer
    The outer shells are not edible due to them being hard enough to hurt you. If grinded to a paste, these could get lodged in your mouth or between your teeth.
