Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, reportedly the second-largest pistachio grower and processor in the U.S., has announced that its Buffalo Wing Seasoned Pistachio Kernels were named a winner in the 2025 Self Pantry Awards. Selected by health-focused publication Self Magazine, the awards are intended to honor packaged food products that are delicious, convenient, satisfying, and healthy.

The 2025 entries were judged on their nutrition profile, shelf stability, and taste by a panel of experts comprising editors, chefs, registered dietitians, and home cooks. This marks the second win for Setton’s Buffalo Wing Seasoned Pistachio Kernels, which previously won in the Best Salty Snack category at the 2022 Kosher Fest New Product competition.

“We are excited and honored that our Buffalo Wing Seasoned Pistachio Kernels won the SELF Pantry Awards,” says Setton Farms COO Mia Cohen. “From the all-natural, delicious seasoning to the premium quality dry roasted pistachios, our seasoned kernel line is unrivaled in the market.”

The Buffalo Wing Seasoned Pistachio Kernels are a part of Setton Farms' seasoned kernel line and are a blend of spicy cayenne pepper, bold paprika, and a dash of vinegar. According to Setton Farms, its proprietary dry-roasting and seasoning process equates to clean eating, and it provides a complete, plant-based protein with no oily residue for healthy and convenient snacking. The Buffalo Wing Seasoned Pistachio Kernels are available in 2.5-oz and 5-oz stand-up, resealable bags. Additional varieties in the seasoned kernel line include Tajín, Jalapeño, Garlic Onion, Salt & Pepper, Scorpion Pepper, and Raw. Each bag contains callouts for popular health attributes, including kosher, certified gluten-free, non-GMO project verified, and vegan.
