Red Chile Pistachios (In-Shell)
Red Chile Pistachios: Heart of the Desert Red Chile Pistachios taste like the Southwest—bright and hot. When you eat these, pop the whole thing in your mouth and suck on the shell for maximum heat and flavor before cracking it open. That’s the taste of real Hatch, New Mexico red chile! These are a 5-6 on the heat index, so expect a medium heat level. Pair them with a cold beer or sweet wine to help temper the spice.
Heat Index: 5-6
XXtra Hot Red Chile Pistachios: Heart of the Desert XXtra Red Chile Pistachios are the same as our Red Chile Pistachios, but with added habanero for XXtra heat. For the full experience, pop the whole thing in your mouth to get as much of the chile as possible before cracking the pistachio open. These are not for the faint of heart and land at an 8-9 on the heat index.
Heat Index: 8-9

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.
