Pistachios

Pistachios

Everyday

Pistachios are a nutrient-dense tree nut recognized by their partially split shell and vibrant green kernels with purple-tinged skins. Originating in the Middle East, these nuts provide a balanced mix of plant-based protein, heart-healthy unsaturated fats, and fiber, along with antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. Often enjoyed roasted and salted as a snack, they add a rich, slightly sweet flavor and crunchy texture to both sweet and savory dishes, though their caloric density warrants mindful portioning.
