Wonderful Pistachios grows on-trend flavor lineup with Dill Pickle expansion
Wonderful Pistachios is expanding its popular No Shells Dill Pickle flavor with a new 5.5-ounce resealable bag, set to launch nationwide in supermarkets in January 2026.
Initially introduced earlier this year in a 2.25-ounce format for the convenience channel, No Shells Dill Pickle quickly became one of the brand’s top-performing flavors. The tangy, savory blend resonated with consumers looking for bold, nostalgic tastes and a satisfying crunch on the go.
The new, larger resealable size allows the flavor to transition beyond single-serve channels into grocery retail, giving consumers a shareable and pantry-friendly option. According to the company, taste tests show No Shells Dill Pickle performing on par with the brand’s most popular flavors, including Honey Roasted and Chili Roasted.
According to the company, the Dill Pickle flavor was inspired by the continued popularity of tangy, nostalgic snacks and the growth of pickle-flavored products across categories in 2025. For operators in vending, micro-markets, and snack distribution, the shift from single-serve toward a larger, resealable format indicates confidence in consumer demand for this flavor.
