I don't know the reason why.

IF you’re actually curios, it was because we used to import them, and the importers would dye them red due to discoloration in how they were harvested. Domestic production ramped up in the US and since pistachios didn’t have to travel as far, and because modern harvesting was more mechanized. It was easier to wash, dry, roast and salt them in a shorter time period avoiding the discoloration that required the dye in the first place.
I see, so that’s why they have never been red outside the US

Yes it has and currently is

Youre all just looking to hate on someone

I don’t think that someone not having seen a thing means that they hate it.
Its not the pistacios they were hating on

I’m blocked for some reason and can’t access the page.

Might still be a (North) America thing. All I know is that I’m over 30 and I have never seen red pistaccios in Germany. I remember that as a kid, I didn’t like them but my brothers did and I’m pretty sure, I would remember if they were red. Sorry for spreading all the hate.
