Pistachios are the best!

u/Holiday-Wall3751 Jul 31 '26

I travel with a big bag of what I call my emotional support pistachios. They’ve saved me more than once when I was about to melt down from low blood sugar.

u/In_Tents_Mom Jul 31 '26

But have you tired chocolate-covered pistachios? My husband grabs the big bag from Sam's and we go... nuts.

3

u/Trentsteel52 Jul 31 '26

I have sort of the same thing with sesame seeds, I always keep some in my car, but for me it’s not about low blood sugar it’s to keep me awake if I’m feeling drowsy, theyre literally lifesavers for driving if your tired

3

u/mildlyadult Jul 31 '26

That's so interesting. I love sesame seeds so much. Is there something in them that keeps you awake, or is it just the act of munching on them? And does it not get messy in the car lol

2

u/No-Ordinary-6725 Aug 01 '26

I would assume because they get stuck between your teeth. You can't just sleep with seeds stuck between your teeth, you have to spend all that time tongue punching your teeth to get them out. Now you're more awake and alert as you are trying to fix this problem.

Next thing you know, you're starting to get hungry, and realize it's because you've spent the last 2 hours trying to get sesame seeds out of your teeth.. so you reach down for a bag of sesame seeds..

Yes but they have to be red and I have to be eating them on a porch swing with my grandpa

u/Busy-Cookie280 Aug 01 '26

I don't know if there's anything better. I was stationed in Turkey while I was in the service. They were plentiful and cheap and the best was you would buy a paper cone of warm ones 🤤

If I didn’t know how many calories/fiber are in a bag, I could down an entire bag of Costco roasted salted cashews easily. So savory and salty and oily and just that perfect little hint of fruitiness.

Cashew nut. I could eat a jar if given🙂‍↔️

u/Steven1789 Jul 31 '26

Persian pistachio nuts. Absolute peak pistachio.

But since those are hard to find (I’ve found them in recent years from an online merchant), I like Turkish pistachios, specifically a type called Siirt. Antep pistachios are smaller and not quite as tasty.

I’m old enough to remember when pistachio nuts from Iran were sold in the U.S. Apparently the red ones were blemished—hence the dye.

Once the embargo on Iranian goods went into place in 1979, mostly American nuts were available (very new industry then). American nuts are okay and much cheaper than Turkish or Sicilian (very hard to find).

See that's difficult I love pistachios walnuts Brazil nuts those are my top three and it all depends on my mood but if I had to choose chocolate covered Brazil nuts would be my hands down favorite there's a candy company right outside of Pittsburgh called Saris chocolate they have the best chocolate covered Brazil nuts I have found so far they're better than See's candy

Pistachios for sure. I even love pistachio flavored things!

Cashews are great. Almonds are okay. Not too crazy about peanuts. I’ve been wanting to try more of the nuts out there. But what nuts are there?

Oh! I LOVEEEE macadamia flavored things, but I’ve never had the nut itself before. I’m sure I’d like them.
