USES & BENEFITS
- Pistachios are one of the most antioxidant-rich nuts. They have a high amount of lutein and zeaxanthin, and therefore promote eye health.
- Pistachios have fewer calories but more protein compared to most other nuts. The essential amino acid content in pistachios is higher than any other nut.
- Pistachio nuts may aid weight loss. In-shell pistachios are said to be especially beneficial, as they also promote mindful eating.
- Pistachios are rich in fiber, which is good for the gut bacteria. Consuming pistachios increases the number of bacteria that produce beneficial short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.
