True California Organic Raw Pistachios (1 LB) In-Shell, No Salt, No Roast – Healthy Snacks, Vegan & Gluten Free – Natural Whole Foods & Pantry Staples

If I get a chance to get the organic pistachios from CVS, I’ll try to take a comparison photo. I would have rated this a bit higher if this company had not made such a big fuss about its pistachios being “Extra large sized” — True California, you’re getting dinged for false advertisement! You’ll lose customer trust if you oversell your product… Ironically, out of all the pistachios that I’ve eaten over decades and in more than one country, I don’t remember any of them being so SMALL as these! The color is excellent and nice bright green. The taste is not bad, but a bit on the bland side. I’ve eaten much more flavorful pistachios (plain, unsalted and unflavored in any way). The quality is good in terms of not having any moldy ones in the mix, like most other brands. For Amazon, this brand seems relatively the best priced, but honestly, when CVS has it in stock, it’s way cheaper… I’ll still get a two-pound bag because we eat pistachios regularly and, as I noted, the organic ones are not always in stock at CVS. UPDATE: the photos show California organic pistachios on top and CVS organic ones (“abound” unsalted organic pistachios) on bottom. You can see that the California ones are a much nicer green.
