About Pistachios handful
Pistachios, a prized nut with origins tracing back to the Middle East, are a nutrient-dense snack that offers a wealth of health benefits. A handful (approximately 28 grams) provides around 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fiber, making it a satisfying and energy-boosting option. Rich in healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, pistachios can support heart health and maintain cholesterol levels. They are also packed with essential nutrients like vitamin B6, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin that promote eye health. Naturally low in sugar and containing fewer calories per serving compared to many other nuts, pistachios can fit well into various diets. However, salted or flavored versions may have added sodium, which could be a concern for some individuals. Ideal as a standalone snack or used in Mediterranean, Persian, and Indian cuisines, pistachios are a versatile and wholesome choice.
