Setton Farms and Tajín collaborate on new chili lime seasoned pistachio kernels 

Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc., the nation's second-largest pistachio grower and processor, announced partnership with Tajín to introduce Tajín Chili & Lime Seasoned Pistachio Kernels. Tajín, the No. 1 brand in the chili-powder in the U.S., is the much-awaited addition to Setton's award-winning line of seasoned pistachio kernels. Tajín is one of the most versatile and loved spices, a unique combination of chili peppers, lime and sea salt, which blends perfectly with the delicious taste and high-nutrient value of Setton's premium pistachios. This healthy and flavorful snack will be available nationwide in retail chains, independent markets and online stores.

"Our partnership with Tajín inspired us to take our premium pistachios to the next level as Tajín has boosted produce sales by 46 percent when displayed together," said Setton Farms Executive Vice President Joseph Setton. "Our team worked hard to get the right balance of Tajín's flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of our premium quality pistachios." 

The Setton Farms Dry Roasted Seasoned Kernel line allows consumers to enjoy pistachios in various award-winning seasonings without the hassle of shells. Pistachio kernels are a fantastic snack and a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids the body needs. In addition, their antioxidant content rivals blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates and red wine.

"We are thrilled to partner with Setton Farms to bring the irresistible flavor combination of Tajín and pistachios to snack lovers nationwide,” said Haydee Fernández, director of Alliances for Tajin Corporation. “The zesty, mildly spicy flavors of Tajín's perfectly complement the premium quality of Setton's pistachios, creating a smart-snack experience that is truly one-of-a-kind."

Setton's entire line of seasoned kernels is bursting with all-natural seasoning, is kosher, Certified gluten-free, non-GMO Project Verified and vegan.
