Heart of the Desert Pistachios are the home-grown product of
Eagle Ranch in Alamogordo, New Mexico. As fruit on the tree, our
pistachios are kissed by the southwestern sun, nurtured and pampered
into maturity by George, our resident farmer and fearless leader.
Our pistachios are harvested, processed, packaged right on the farm
– guaranteeing the freshness and value of our pistachios are
second-to-none.
Our award winning pistachios come in nine unique flavors. Our
original recipes were cooked up by Gordon Schweers, son of Eagle
Ranch owners, George & Marianne Schweers, and taste-tested by a cast
of thousands!
For the "pistachio purist" we have the traditional salted and
roasted pistachios. For the more adventurous, we have spicy red
chile, green chile or green chile garlic pistachios. Not into spice?
Try our lemon lime flavor.
We’re pretty proud of our tasty pistachios. The green chile
pistachios were named a "Best Product" at the NASFT Winter Fancy
Food Show by "Gourmet Retailer" magazine, and the accolades have
continued from there.

Unsalted & Roasted Pistachios
Pistachios are a naturally sweet nut. Our unsalted/roasted nuts
focus your taste buds on just the flavor of the nuts. Keep some

your day takes you!
It is shown that those who eat pistachios experience a
significant reduction of the biological effects of acute stress,
such as blood pressure. Pistachios also provide potassium, which
is important in maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
Just a single serving (49 nuts) provides the same amount of
protein in an ounce of soybeans. Western Pistachio Association
