I did not know until I was an adult that they did that because they used to source all the pistachios from overseas and the quality was not as good as the ones they grow in California now. Are there any other instances of fruit, nuts, or vegetables having their lower quality hidden by subterfuge?
I remember when they were dyed red and green.
>>22099328Most tomatoes are picked green and underripe, then treated with ethylene gas to turn red. It's why fresh tomatoes often taste weird compared to canned ones that are actually picked when ripe.
>>22099328It was a major gag in The Naked Gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyGZAg3lo9A
>>22099328>Are any of you anons old enough to remember when pistachios were dyed red?yes>having their lower quality hidden by subterfugeall pistachios are low quality.eating pistachios be like:>crunch crunch crunchmmmmm>crunch crunch crunchmmmm>crunch crunch crunchblech!>crunch crunch crunchmmm>crunch crunch crunchblechrepeat.
Yellow cheddar is dyed because people associated darker yellow cheeses with quality. so manufacturers started making them darker, and darker.now it is done because that is how it has always been done.there reason for most of the things that you see happening in food.
>>22099328>the quality was not as good as the ones they grow in California nowfucking lmao, kids these days.the calikikery takeover of the pistachio industry after we sanctioned Iran/ME countries has been the fucking worst. size. quality. etc. you fucking clowns, I swear.
>>22099515>calikikeryJew derangement syndrome.
Farmed salmon are fed pellets with added dyes that turn their flesh red. It would be greyish like tuna otherwise. Wild salmon has red flesh because they consume an algae that naturally dyes their flesh red.
>>22099328most black olives are harvested when still green (unripe), they're treated afterwardsmaraschino cherries are leftovers which are bleached, laced with artificial flavours (corn syrup, "almond extract") and dyed.A lot of citrus is coloured with ethylene gas to not make it look green (even though that's perfectly normal)Apples are waxed. They're sprayed with a chemical called citrus 2 to make them look more red. So are tomatoes.Chicken and salmon are fed pigments to make their meat look "more healthy".All meat is injected with brine to make it heavier.
>>22099521Stewart, please...
>>22099328Almost all food in America is chemically treated to improve color/texture/cut costs/whatever. Our food is literal poison and the government allows it so corporations can save a couple pennies.
>>22099328It wasn't that they were lower quality, but that the traditional hulling done in Iran made the shells a little unsightly (like it matters).
>>22099328I remember loving them by my parents wpuldnt buy them because it made a mess. Youd also look like you were wearing lipstick.
>>22099328Yeah. I remember them from the 90s. My dad's fat girlfriend was always eating them.
>>22099521>its deranged to point out that the same Jewish couple owns the largest nut and pomegranate groves in the country You are a Jew too.
>>22099852yes thats deranged.
They still do this in Canada, you can get them at Bulk Barn.
>>22099883Heebz nuts
Black olives.
>>22099328you can still get these some places. I buy them sometimes if I'm using pistachios as a garnish just for a bit of visual flair.
If not for JFK's grandson, everything would be dyed red like that (red 40)
>>22099605I’ve got a loaf of sliced bread sitting on my refrigerator, expiration date was almost a year ago but it’s still soft and mold free
>>22099521Jew
>>22099453What, you don't like rancid webbed pupae in your food?
>>22099328Oooh! So that's what this was!
>>22100483anon pls
>>22099337Same with oranges
>>22099328I don't know nothing about that but if you ever see Wonderful brad pistashios, poke holes in the bags and walk away. They're owned by gigakikes that fund the pissraeli cult.
>>22099328once i got red pistachios for christmas because i said i wanted some (i thought it was a strain not dye), i ate them, and the next morning got scared when i took a red colored shit until i realized what it was
>>22100490you mean greens?
>>22099328I got some in a gift basket. I didn't really get it. Its just dye all it did was make my hands pink.
>>22099337In the fall when I have green tomatoes, I harvest them and then wrap them in newspaper and put them in my pantry, they will slowly ripen up over the winter. I have home grown tomatoes which ripen as late as March.
>>22102414How do they taste compared to vine ripened? I wonder if letting them naturally ripen slowly like that results in a better taste compared to processing them with ethylene gas like big producers do.
>>22102437They taste great. It's impossible to perform a proper a/b comparison to ones ripened on the vine for obvious reasons.Also if you let zucchinis get big they get a nice thick hard rind and turn into a spaghetti squash. You don't have to throw them away when they get seedy or big.
>>22099533Im not a jew or an alcoholic casino owner. I dont eat literal sea slugs like salmon or tuna
>>22099337same is true of apples and peaches and plums
>>22101881Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to buy some the next time I'm out grocery shopping.
>>22102439>literalJesus…….
>>22099328Dude yeah actually, I completely forgot and probably never would have remembered.
They still do colour them, just not red. Go buy pists from a regular grocery store, then find them at a middle-eastern grocery store, if you're lucky enough to have one in your town, that roasts them in house. They're very blotchy and mottled looking and I can see why they colour them. Although fresh-roasted have a much different taste than the mass produced stuff.
>>22099337this is why they were dying the ketchup at one point
>>22100228no you fucking don’t even with the preservatives in our bread it will still only last a couple weeks before mold gets it
>>22104836How, exactly, do preservatives prevent mold? Or any kind of "going bad" for that matter? Are they a poison for fungi & bacteriae? Or do they simply prevent absorption of water? We know they increase shelf life, but how, exactly, do they work?
>>22100483>>22100488When I first seen these scene I was looking up american red candies for ages trying to figure out what they were eating
>>22105046This is one of the funnier stories I've heard on this board in a while. Bless you, anon.
