pistachio shells

Green snack remnants

Pistachio shells are the hard, naturally split casings that enclose pistachio nuts.

They're typically discarded after eating, often accumulating in small piles: The table was littered with pistachio shells.

The shells are sometimes repurposed for crafts or garden mulch.

An unopened shell signals a nut that resisted cracking during roasting.
