Hi have been eating Zenobia pistachios since I was a kid which is about 65 years ago. Back then the nuts had red dye, don’t know if the non dyed nuts were available. The Z nuts were always a delicious treat. Over the past 5-7 or so something changed, the nuts just haven’t been as good. I think the weather conditions in region where the nuts are grown has changed significantly. I continue to purchase the Z brand in hopes the old original flavor returns. I still make the Z pistachio nut brand purchases in hopes the original flavor has returned. NOT YET. I’ll try again in another couple months. Thanks for the opportunity to share my life long experience with Zenobia pistachio nuts. Lawrence Werger
