How it All Began...
I am a mid-life guy, having my mid-life crisis…. I just can’t afford to be that exciting with it. I love my wife and children and they love my pistachios. I LOVE pistachios. I mean. I really, really love them. Always have. They are tremendous, and my love led to experimentation. I figured it was like starting with King Crab and there was not much I could do to possibly screw them up.
I was looking for a healthy, tasty snack alternative to the traditional fattening, bad-for-you salty snack. While experimenting, I found that most of us liked the wild flavors best. So I worked on dozens of variations and custom flavors and have fine-tuned the three favorites Chicken Ranch, Blue Cheese and Honey Sriracha to share with the world. I am excited to share the greatness that can be found in these delicious little nuggets of goodness. Open wide, pop in and savor the flavor. Big Mouth Pistachios make everything better. Big Mouth Pistachios bring happiness to your life and to the world. We invite you to share the joy with us. Many more flavors to come SOON!
