Pistachios in shells are nutrient-packed nuts that originate from the Middle East and are a staple in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. These vibrant green nuts are encased in beige shells and are known for their rich, buttery flavor. They are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, and dietary fiber, making them ideal for heart health and digestion. Pistachios also provide essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium, which support energy metabolism and muscle function. Their antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, may contribute to eye health. While generally healthy, pistachios are calorie-dense and can be high in sodium if salted, so portion control is important. Unshelled pistachios can encourage slower consumption, aiding mindful eating. Versatile and delicious, pistachios can be enjoyed as a snack, in desserts, or added to savory dishes for extra texture and nutrition.
