Try Our New Flavors
Drought
Remember the good old days of California’s worst drought in history? People here loved taking shorter showers, and ratting out their neighbors for watering the lawns.
Here’s a new flavor from the thousands of acres of new Pistachio orchards the Wonderful Company was able to plant during that time.
We’re proud to report that the people consuming our Pistachios are now more diverse than ever — exports to China alone have increased by over 230 million pounds a year.
Extinct Fish
People say our farms use a lot of water. How much exactly? Enough to drain the west coast’s largest river estuary — the San Francisco Bay Delta.
The Wonderful Company has pumped out so much, it has driven the area to the brink of a mass extinction — and we’re doing everything we can to put the final nail in the coffin!
We know you love our delicious snacks — whatever the cost. Enjoy each nut from our new ‘Extinct Fish’ flavor like it’s the last one, it could be!
Oil Waste
You might think that farming and the oil industry couldn’t work side by side, but believe it or not, many of our Wonderful farms sit right on top of oil fields.
The environmental benefits are incredible! We use recycled oil waste water, generated naturally during oil production, to irrigate our crops.
We think it gives our healthy snacks a special zing... Is it the acetone, the benzine? Or maybe it’s just traces of raw, unprocessed oil!
Middle East Conflict
Just a generation ago, America barely grew any Pistachios. Lucky for the industry, things went sour with Iran, the world’s biggest grower of the nuts.
Now, thanks to economic sanctions, the Wonderful Company is the biggest pistachio exporter in the world — just as long as the USA never makes peace with Iran.
Did we lobby to kill Obama’s nuclear deal? Now, that would be telling... Try this new flavor, for people who like their conflicts extra hot!
The snack you never knew you wanted until we told you you did
Hello Pistachios
California Water Use
Once planted, nut orchards need a constant supply of water, so even in dry years, it's essential to keep diverting river water to our massive farms in the desert.
Goodbye Fish
San Francisco Bay Fish Population Collapse 1
Water to feed California’s vital agriculture industry is pumped from the San Francisco Bay Delta – it took half a century for the industry to produce Wonderful’s new Extinct Fish flavor, worth the wait?
1. Fish population decline since California Aqueduct was completed in 1967.

Wonderful Pistachios Carrot and Cilantro Oil Soup Slaw
Dizzying aromas, a rainbow slick of colors! Oil is one of nature’s oldest ingredients, coming deep from the earth.
Our specially sourced irrigation water gives the pistachio topping a complimentary 'terrior'.
If anyone says this wholesome soup isn’t healthy, ask them for proof.
The Wonderful Company is owned by Stewart and Lynda Resnick — a glamorous Beverly Hills power couple who also happen to be America’s biggest farmers.
Maybe you’ve seen their name printed on art museums, hospitals, and universities. Or maybe you’ve never heard of them at all.
Either way you will love Pistachio Wars, a soon to be released film chronicling their life, achievements as philanthropists, and California’s remarkable transformation by corporate agriculture.
