Ate too much pistachio. Stomach not happy.
Did you shell them first?
Lazy people buy them pre-shelled. From costco.
I only buy the whole nuts and not the bag of pre-shelled kernals.
I work with my fingers and would like to keep them intact.
Use your teeth to crack them all the way open. Not hard.
Use the right tool.I personally don't like to require dental care if I can help it, as well.
Actually wonder if a nut cracker would work well for the stubborn ones that arn't open enough.
you obviously don't know how expensive dental care it.
was it a 10lb bag?Lazy people buy them pre-shelled. From costco.
I'm not talking biting through the shell. I'm talking about biting gently on the sides of the shell to crack it open. Usually, they are already split open enough to allow you to use your teeth to easily pry the halves apart. Sometimes you have to bite down on the sides to get it started. I try to bite near the top tip and not dead in the middle of the nut.
