In stores you will find raw, roasted and salted peanuts. All of them differ by their taste. Important: it is better to buy unsalted and unprocessed nuts in a container with a transparent window. So you can not only look at the label, but also judge the quality by its appearance:
- The pistachios should be clean, open, with the kernel protruding 2/3 of the shell. The nucleus is hidden inside the immature fruit. The crack is mechanical in origin, not natural.
- In good-quality walnuts, the shell is pale yellow, free of blemishes, damage, and heavy salt deposits. A dark color indicates that they are spoiled or overcooked.
- The grain is covered by a brown film. If the color is red, you have to discard the purchase.
- The greener a shelled pistachio is, the richer and tastier it is. The brown, wrinkled grains are not useful.
Don’t buy pistachios by the flakes. They will absorb odors from nearby foods. The package must not contain dehusked shelled beans. Don’t buy moldy nuts. They contain poisonous aflotoxins that poison the body.
We suggest a simple visual method to determine product quality. Raise the bag above your head, shake it slightly and look through the transparent window. If there is too much salt, a whitish layer will form at the bottom of the bag. There will also be excess peel, which shouldn’t be there.
