When we were in Alamogordo, NM (to see White Sands Nat'l Monument, pix on that to follow) we came across a pistachio farm. It turns out that the Alamogordo area is one of only three spots in North America that can grow pistachios; the other two are southern CA and southern AZ. The nuts in the picture are immature and the red color fades as they ripen. Maybe that's why some pistachios are dyed red. Anyway, they had a store on the premises with all things pistachio: bread, cookies, candy, multi-flavored nuts, etc. I was in hog heaven!
