Taste kind of eh. First time buying the shelled ones, Some a hard! I think they are old or over roasted. Maybe both. Bought Wonderful in the shell ones and the were great ~ until the last bag I purchased where many of the nuts taste rotten. What happened?

I buy these weekly it's my favorite protein snack to have. They leave me feeling very full and satisfied. As for the reviews that sometimes you get a burned or even bitter one that is true it does happen sometimes. But that can happen with any brand with things that are processed by machines and packaged. There's bound to be a nut not quite ready or that got a little too overcooked. It's not a perfect science so I don't mind the occasional nut that doesn't taste the greatest. I accept room for minor error when the overall product itself is good and the price is a great price at Sam's club.

Few green ones. 5% qualify as fresh, 60% brown but editable, 35% non-editable. I've actually bought several bags of these over the years and pretty much the same critique. I'm not overly picky but don't like buying a product and throwing away half of it. To use it in a recipe you would have to check each one. Actually think I'm going to return it.

Thought these would be a good alternative to having to break the shells all the time. I find so many makers having more and more nuts that aren't cracked so I bought these already shelled type. Nope, last time for that. These were a little stale to start, too little salt, and not a lot of flavor. I will go back to a different source.

I've been purchasing these for awhile and have always been satisfied. However, in the last bag, the nuts were all shriveled, dry, mildewed, stale and inedible. Sam's gave me only a partial refund. $16.00 is alot of money to throw away on a terrible product. So, these are hit and miss if you want to take that chance. Do not recommend.

Sam's used to have fantastic shelled pistachios before they switched to this brand. My favorite nut and this company has ruined them and until last week were all stores seemed to have. Wal-mart now has still in shell under their brand that are very good. Other stores might have shelled. Sam's follow Wal-mart and ditch these I miss the old ones so much.

I tried these one week when the local club was out of the shelled version. I was shocked. They weren't as crunchy as the shelled version and much less flavorful. The shells may make a mess when consuming but they seem to provide a valuable service by keeping the nuts fresh and holding the flavor......and I mean really: How lazy can you be?

I was glad to see that Walmart carried this large size as it helps to keep the price down on these very expensive nuts. They do not stock this large size in the store, but they had it available for pick up in store the next afternoon! Thanks Walmart!

This was the first package of pistachios we tried. They are, as the Review Title suggests, good; but not great. They were, in our opinion, over-roasted. The traditional green color is mostly gone and the fresh taste you expect is missing. At $15 for 24 ounces, they are over-priced. They also suffer being from California; not the Middle East, where it seems the best nuts of this variety are grown. They are also a little light on the salt content. If you love this kind of nut; keep looking.

Great product great nuts. Love to shpp Sams
