Pistachios on Rosh Hashanah

Meals and sybmolic foods during Rosh ha-Shanah

Question

Is it okay to eat ground pistachios on fish during Rosh Hashanah?

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

Pistachios are considered nuts, so they’re included in the custom not to eat nuts.

Some are lenient when the nuts are completely ground and no longer recognizable, while others are strict even if they are fully ground.
