When you buy pistachios in the grocery store you can buy them either shelled or unshelled. Buying them already shelled is often at least twice the price of buying the unshelled ones and doing it yourself. Unfortunately many people don’t know the easy way to shell a pistachio and they end up with sore thumbs.

The first pistachio you open will most likely be the most difficult. Pry the shell off with your fingers and thumbs. Once you get that first one off your next ones will be much easier and faster. Take one of the shell halves that you just removed and put the top of the small end into the cracked opening of your next pistachio. Twist the discarded shell like you would a screwdriver. The pistachio should crack open the rest of the way!
