Pistachios are suppose to be good for men, you know! aww :( shelling them is the best part!! and now that I learned that using the shell of an eaten pistachio is the best way to crack those nearly impossible to open ones with the tiny cracks, I'm unstoppable "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T.

Quoting: Fret Wiz I love me some almonds, too, but had to swear them off after learning that they're all irradiated in the US, even in raw form. R.I.P., almonds. Oh well, if that don't get you; something else will. Just live and enjoy while you can! Texans are arrogant Texans; but you would be too if you were correct all the damn time! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 51281656 United States 12/10/2013 08:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The new protocols require all raw almonds sold in North America to be pasteurized, thereby killing off any wayward bacteria. How? By quick-steaming the nuts, or spraying them with propylene oxide (PPO), a chemical so nasty that it was banned by both the National Hot Rod and American Motorcycle Racing Associations, where it had been used as a fuel before being deemed too dangerous. PPO is also a carcinogen. For these and other reasons, most countries, including the EU, ban imported nuts treated with PPO. (The ABC is actively working to change that.)

User ID: 39685812 United States 12/10/2013 08:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like hazelnuts in the shell but last time I tried to buy them, I put them back after realizing I had too little for too much money! When you find a piece of shit along side the road and you poke it with a stick, what do you expect to find inside of it, gold? No, it's just going to stink more. |
