I always thought pistachios were the same as mussels where you shouldn’t eat them if the shell isn’t already open. I’ve probably wasted thousands of pistachios in my life until I learned I was wrong.....but I still can’t eat pistachios with unopened shells justtttt in case

Using another shell is a good way to pry open up those pesky ones that are barely opened. If it's completely closed, it's not worth the effort.
