The best nut is the Pistachio - and I'm right. . . so there. . .

Bulk container shipments of pistachio nuts are prone to self heating and spontaneous combustion because of their high fat and low water content.

NO, the best tasting nut is macadamia, pistachio would be #2 for me.

almond is great when freshly glazed boston style.

Didn't we just go through this with the kiwi? You were wrong then, too. :)

Disagree. I far prefer Peanuts, they're just more versatile. Pistachio Pudding or Ice Cream is simply awesome though.

If only I weren't allergic to pistachios...they're delicious but oh so painful.

Cashews are my favorite, almonds and walnuts are awesome too. Peanuts are also awesome but for some reason they're not really considered a nut, but I just put them in that category anyway. Mmmm, nuts. Pistachios ARE awesome though, I just find they're more trouble to eat. :p

I totally agree. Pistachios are great, none of the other nuts come close. Also, for those that prefer peanuts...those are legumes, not nuts. Peanuts are the best legume.

my nuts > all other nuts.

Seriously though, you ever eat just one pistachio?
