I love pistachios, too. I miss the red and green ones, especially around Christmas time although they probably were not good for you with the dye on them.not a massive Pecan lover, I do LOVE LOVE LOVE salted roasted pistachios.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! for telling everyone the correct way to say pecans! It hurts my ears to hear them called PEE-cans!Puh-leeze! Puh-leeze! Don't call them "pee-cans." It's an insult to the nut! They are "p'cahns"!
Pecans are my favorite nut. My husband's great aunt used to have a pecan tree and she would bring us a grocery bag full of pecans. I had a special nutcracker that would crack the pecans perfectly, and I would sit in front of the TV at night and crack the nuts all evening.
I used them in everything that called for nuts. I love pecan pie, but it's way too sweet for me. @blueyedgirl5946 - You will have to share your recipe with us.
Notice this is all past tense. Pecans are too expensive up here in Illinois (it's a southern tree), so I have to make do with walnuts, not really my favorite.
My second favorite nuts are almonds. I buy them raw, toast them in the oven, stir in a pat of butter while they are still hot, and sprinkle with a trace of popcorn salt. Yum!
I'm not sure what the issue is but I can no longer post a link to anything on Amazon. Is it the new platform?
Yeah. I looked and found Texas Pecan Company (there are others of course- this is just an example). The prices on the pecans are quite reasonable. $10.25/lb but they want $12.70 to ship it UPS ground.Pecans are my favorite, they always have been. They aren't cheap though. If you google Texas Pecans you will get a lot of growers that sell on line, they are all about 10 to 10.50 a pound.
