Pistachio - Raw Food & Superfoods

Originating in Southeast Asia, the pistachio belongs to the same family as the cashew nut. They are a great source of vitamin B6 & trace minerals like copper and manganese. They are also higher in antioxidants than most nuts & are bursting with healthy doses of dietary fiber (as much as oatmeal). Frequent consumption of pistachios has been linked to lowering harmful cholesterol levels. Pistachios are the only nuts to contain significant amounts of lutein & zeaxanthin, which are carotenoids associated with lowering the risk of age-related muscular degeneration. Like all of our nuts & seeds, our pistachio nuts are low-temperature dried, which keeps nutrients & flavors bountifully intact.
