Ask the Pistachio Expert
By Pistachio Queen
Ever wonder what goes into a bag of Wonderful Pistachios? This week, the Pistachio Expert answers questions from our fans to give you a look behind-the-scenes and some insight into our product.
Where are your pistachios grown?
We have fields spread throughout the sunny San Joaquin Valley in Lost Hills, Wasco, and McKittrick just to name a few cities.
Are pistachios happy on the farm?
You betcha! The warm days and cool nights work in harmony to create the perfect growing conditions for our pistachios. We also practice sustainable farming methods to help promote a happy environment.
What happened to the pistachios with red dye?
Pistachios were dyed red in the past to hide their imperfections. Thanks to our advanced farming methods, we no longer need to dye the pistachios since they never touch the ground!
Will you ever make chipotle flavored pistachios?
Wonderful Pistachios currently does not feature a chipotle flavor. You can, however, find flavored pistachios from our friends at Everybody’s Nuts Pistachios. Their portfolio of flavors include Garlic & Onion, Salt & Pepper, and Sweet Chili – check them out!
