Who doesn’t love snacking on pistachios? They are delicious and quite good for you, being nutritional and high in antioxidants, fiber, and protein. On top of that, you can use them to make all sorts of desserts.
The only problem with pistachios is that they can be challenging to open. You always need to put some effort into cracking open their shell to get to the tasty inside.
Most people usually just use their fingers or fingernails to pull apart the shell. Others use a more sophisticated method of jamming a piece of the pistachio shell inside another shell and twisting it open. But what if we told you all of these techniques are wrong, and there is actually a much simpler and easier way to do it?
In a viral video posted on TikTok, user @motorcityeats demonstrated how to open a pistachio shell with minimum effort and just one move. They simply squeeze the open end of the shell, which causes the shell to break apart instantaneously.
It turned out that many TikTok users didn’t think of opening pistachios this way.
“I always thought you had to rip your fingernails off in the process,” one user wrote in the comments section.
“I found myself staring at this thinking, how could I not have realized that,” another added.
So next time you are eating pistachio, save your fingers. Instead, use this technique and make it a much more pleasant experience.
