Red Chile & Lime Pistachios (In-Shell)
Heart of the Desert Red Chile & Lime Pistachios combine our classic Red Chile Pistachios with fresh lime for a tangy snack that’s light, bright, and crunchy. The acid of the lime cuts the heat of the red chile just enough to bring out the natural green sweetness of the nut. Enjoy the flavor by the handful, or get creative by topping a fresh summer salad or salmon filet with these pistachios. These are a 5-6 on the heat index, so expect a medium spice level.
Heat index: 5-6

Nutritional Value: Pistachios are one of the most nutritious nuts on earth. They are nutrient-dense and contain all nine essential amino acids (EAAs), qualifying them as a complete protein. They’re naturally gluten and cholesterol free, contain very little saturated fats and no trans fats, and are an excellent source of fiber and complex carbohydrate energy. There is more potassium and iron, by weight, in pistachios than in any other nut, fruit, or vegetable.
One ounce of shelled pistachios contains approximately 10% of an adult's daily recommended protein intake, without any animal fats.
Storage of Pistachios: We recommend keeping your pistachios in the refrigerator or freezer in a sealed container. Kept in the refrigerator, pistachios will stay fresh for one year. In the freezer, they will stay fresh for two years.
