It’s like 20% empty shells! WTF! So I look under the bag hoping to find the holy grail of de-shelled pistachio heaven… But nothing!
This is Pistaccio Gate out in the open. Now I have to look over my shoulders.
Update: the bag after this one has not yet produced the same disparate amount of empty shells. It must have been a fluke!.. Or so I think!
Pistachio market is getting squeezed by drought in California, and the second largest exporter, Iran, is having a bit of trouble getting product out of the country.
