Review of 'Wonderful' Pistachios (Roasted, Salted)

Wonderful -- Pistachios (Roasted, Salted) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: ooh, these are perfectly fresh and crunchy, even close to the 'best before' date. I really like that they are not at all too salty. Pistachios are one of my favourite nuts--there's just sooo much flavour packed into that tiny little nut. I use these for baking (cakes, cookies), and it's just delicious--again, not at all too salty. It is a little pricey for such a little bag and the brand doesn't seem to participate in sustainability or community initiatives.

Where to buy: Freshco, Fortinos, Walmart, Foodland





Ingredients: pistachios, salt.
