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.

    At my Costco, pistachios are $20 for a 48 oz bag, so 41 cents an ounce. At my local Ralph’s, they’re $11 for a 16 oz bag, so 68 cents an ounce. So the grocery store is 67% more expensive. That’s way more than the percentage of empty shells we’re seeing, and I doubt the shells weigh as much as the nuts.
