LOS ANGELES, CA - One of my first experiences with pistachios was within a cake. The idea of a nut-based dessert was wild to my young mind. Now, with the eyes and stomach of an experienced consumer, I see the pistachio category has evolved to become a pantry staple, not only as a bakery ingredient but as a go-to snack. With Wonderful® Pistachios No Shells at the forefront, it’s not hard to see why, as two of its flavors were selected as Good Housekeeping 2022 Healthy Snack Awards winners.

The pistachio company has aggressively pushed the appeal of this delicious nut through several marketing campaigns and partnerships, most notably with Sheldon the Tortoise. With worldwide appeal and savory flavors, the healthy snack boasts 6 grams of protein per serving and provides a healthy way to fuel up without the guilt.

As noted in the release, the Good Housekeeping 2022 Healthy Snack Awards highlight innovative snacks in the food space that meet the publication’s nutritional criteria, including caps on per-serving calories, sugar, and sodium. Some components that are rigorously analyzed are the ingredient lists, Nutrition Facts labels, packaging claims, and flavor profiles. Consumer testers also weighed in on taste and provided additional real-life analysis.

Wonderful Pistachios No Shells BBQ landed this coveted award with its hickory-smoked flavor dashed with garlic, paprika, and salt. The flavor profile is an irresistible mix of sweet and smoky while Wonderful Pistachios No Shells Chili Roasted turns up the heat. No Shells Chili Roasted, another winner amidst the list, bursts with big, bold flavors of red pepper, garlic, and vinegar to tingle taste buds and keep consumers coming back for more.

With an innovative range of flavors to meet flavor needs across the board, Wonderful Pistachios is primed to meet increased demands. So, congratulations on this momentous occasion!
