I want to know why it is that nuts salted and in the shell are so much better than nuts that are shelled and salted. I notice this with sunflower seeds, pistachios and salted peanuts. When they are salted in the shell they are so much more trouble what with the shelling and all the trash and debris. When I eat sunflower seeds, I chew them up whole and spit out the chewed up shells (gross I know), but they are better that way than if you shell them individually. Pistachios aren't that easy to shell, but when I buy the pre-shelled they just aren't as good. Why would this be? Am I the only one that notices this?

It may be that they dry out and lose their taste once shelled - they stay fresher if they're not shelled.
I hadn't thought of this till you pointed it out but d'you know? - I think you're right.
