Pistachio

Pistachio is my favorite nut.It is not common in the Philippines though. A kilo of it may cost you $20 or more. My aunt usually sent me a bag of pistachio. Cracking the nuts is a challenge. That's why I use hammer for that. I also notice that when I eat a lot of it, I get pimples. Pistachio is very common in middle east that is why it is cheaper there. How much is pistachio in your country?

@Janet357 yes I like them. But they taste similar to ground nut. you need to eat a hand full to get some real taste . Cashew nuts are better option.

I like almonds too. Right now, am eating Ferrero Rocher and there is an almond inside it. I like the chocolate not because of anything but because of almond.

They are among my favorite nuts. I buy them out of the shell to save my teeth even though they cost more. I also love almonds, cashews, pecans, peanuts, and walnuts.

I have been given some, but I have never bought any so I do not know how much they cost. I get the ones that are already salted and the shells are partway opened.

But I notice those that are still inside the shell taste better than those without the shell.

@Janet357 I have dentures, but can only wear the top. So I can't chew anything hard or I will cut my lower gums, which is sad because i loved eating nuts.
