I was concerned because a reviewer said there were bad nuts in her shipment, and I had bought a smaller bag of another brand that had some good and some bad nuts. These are uniformly good (I opened one of the five pouches, but we have eaten about half of it without finding any problem). No discolored nuts. Very uniform, mostly whole. Various sizes, but uniform good taste. highly recommended.The only cons are the very high caloric content (I cut them with almonds), and the price, although this was the best price I found.
