One of the Oldest Edible Nuts
Pistachios are one of the oldest edible nuts and are commonly used all over the world. They are native to Asia, particularly in Iran and Iraq. Archaeological evidence dates the association of pistachios and man as early as 6,000 BC. They were cultivated in Iran, Iraq, and Syria and were introduced to the Romans only in 100 AD. Today, apart from Iran, Iraq, and Syria, pistachios are being produced in many countries such as the United States, Australia, Turkey, and China, among others.
Organic Raw Pistachio Nut Butter
Pistachios are one of the few nuts that contain most of the nutrients required by humans to maintain their overall health.
Pistachios contain nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and amino acids, fats, and dietary fibre. They are rich in minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, sodium, and selenium. They also provide you with essential vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, choline, and betaine.
Pistachios contain a higher amount of protein in comparison with other nuts such as almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, and walnuts. The amount of protein found in pistachio is 6 grams per 1 ounce, which is the highest in comparison to other nuts.
Heart-Friendly Nuts
The fat content in pistachios is also the lowest as compared to the other nuts. Statistics collected by Thomas and Gebhardt (2006) show that the fat content is 13 grams per 1 ounce.
They are also a good source of mono-unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and antioxidants. Taking them on a regular basis helps in decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol), which is known as bad cholesterol and increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol), commonly known as good cholesterol.
