Wondering how something so delicious could also be good for you? Our raw organic Pistachios are antioxidant powerhouses, which is great for helping to fight against free radicals. In a USDA study, pistachios were placed in the group with the highest antioxidant capacity. A snack of crunchy pistachios can provide three grams of dietary fiber and have no cholesterol. That’s about the same amount as in a serving of oatmeal! Pistachios are a good source of vegetable protein. As more concerned Americans look for protein from non-animal sources, pistachios in combination with other protein-rich fruits, vegetables and grains are a sound nutritional choice. The best part is they are a heart healthy snack and so delicious. Kids love them too!

Benefits
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first qualified health claim specific to nuts lowering the risk of heart disease: "Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces (42.5g) per day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease"
Pistachios are an excellent source of copper and manganese, and a good source of phosphorus. They’re also an excellent source of vitamin B6, offering 20% of the Daily Value per serving. In addition to vitamin B6, pistachios are a good source of thiamin (15% DV) and have lesser amounts of other B vitamins, such as folate and biotin at 4% DV, and riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid at 2% DV.
Recommended Usage
Great to just grab a handful and eat as a snack on the go. Put them in your kids lunch. For an after school snack roll crushed Pistachios on a peeled banana that has our Sunfood Cacao powder on it, then freeze! You will be a hero! Put them on your salads and you can even make a great paste for smoothies and crackers!
