About Pistachios and cashews
Pistachios and cashews are nutrient-packed tree nuts enjoyed worldwide. Pistachios, native to the Middle East and Central Asia, are known for their vibrant green hue and mildly sweet taste. Cashews, originating from South America, offer a buttery texture and rich flavor. Both nuts are excellent sources of healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which promote heart health. They are also rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like magnesium, vitamin B6, and zinc. Pistachios contain antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health, while cashews contribute to bone strength with their high levels of magnesium and phosphorus. However, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is vital to avoid excessive consumption that could lead to weight gain. Commonly used in cooking, baking, or as snacks, pistachios and cashews are versatile additions to dishes spanning from Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines to global favorites.
