Pistachio nuts are a flavoursome treat at the worst of times, dry roasted and salted they reach new levels of character and taste. The extra salt isn’t good for people at risk of stroke or heart attack, but for those who can eat it as part of a balanced diet, it really adds to pistachios in an impossible to emulate way.
Salt is the greatest flavour enhancer and it works its magic here, bringing out the umami and the nutty, fatty, thick and rich flavours that make pistachios such a popular and enduring choice for millions of people.
