Pistachio Nuts question on weight

[easyrider]

The point I was (very abstractly) trying to get accross earlier was that to be so anal about your food is pointless. 100kcal here or there isn't going to be life changing.

I wouldn't worry about it.

It was 600Cal per 100G though

200g bag equates to 1200Cal plus 3 600ml bottles of beer

wait........what

You dont eat the shells??????

 

[Threepwood]

so 200G of pastachio is how many actual in real terms ?

If you do some google wizardry, you will find nutitional listings for shelled and unshelled pistachio nuts.

Weight for weight unshelled pistaicio nuts have lower values than shelled pistaico nuts.

That should answer your question about the nutrition value on the back of your unshelled pistachio nuts, it's based on the nuts minus the shells with total nut + shell weight.


Edit: For purposes of clarity, shelled = with shells removed and unshelled = with shell.

I'm sure it's done on the weight of edible product.

If a chicken is 23g of protein per 100g, you're not going to include the bones of the chicken into the calculation.
