NUTS

Over 40 years ago, in 1982, Tri-Cal started with one sole item, pistachio nuts. Our pistachio nut line was first launched in California's Central Valley marketplace during the early beginnings of the domestic pistachio farming industry. As California pistachio growers ourselves, our goal has always been to provide our customers higher grade standards of roasted and salted pistachios with US Extra #1, providing large-sized nuts of 21-25 nuts per ounce.

Over our 40+ years of history, we have expanded our product line to include several other "Premium Select" nuts in addition to our flagship line of pistachio nuts.

Since our beginnings in 1982, Tri-Cal has always utilized Clear-View Packaging. Why? Simple, to enable our customers to easily see the quality of nuts they are purchasing from us. This clean, simple, clear and, we think, unique packaging in today's marketplace is superior to many other nut packages that, in many cases, use a full graphic over covered packages that leaves the consumer wondering what's really inside.

So, when you.... Think Pistachios, Think Tri-Cal^®. We "clearly" are the best!
