Health & Nutrition

Nutrition

Pistachios contain fewer calories and more potassium and vitamin K per serving than other nuts. A 1-ounce serving of dry-roasted pistachios contains 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 15 grams of fat, including only 2 grams of saturated fat. It also provides you with 25 percent of the daily value for vitamin B-6, 15 percent of the daily value for thiamine and phosphorus and 10 percent of the daily value for magnesium.

Heart Health

Snacking on pistachios may help lower your cholesterol. Pistachios also contain l-arginine, which can make the lining of your arteries more flexible and make it less likely you will develop blood clots that could cause a heart attack, and vitamin E, which makes it less likely your arteries will become clogged with plaque, notes MayoClinic.com.

Weight Management

A study published in the “Journal of the American College of Nutrition” in June 2010 found that participants who consumed 240 calories worth of pistachios for 12 weeks lowered their body mass indexes and triglyceride levels more than those who consumed 220 calories worth of pretzels.

Pistachios

In A Nutshell

One serving of pistachios is 49 nuts, more than any other tree nut.
One serving of pistachios has as much potassium (300mg, 8%) as an orange (250mg, 7%).
According to a Penn State University study, it is suggested that pistachios reduce the body’s biological response to stress
Forty-nine pistachios serve up to 20 percent of your Daily Value of B6, about the same as half an avocado.
You can obtain more dietary fiber from a serving of pistachios (3g) than a 1/2 cup of cooked broccoli, and the same amount of dietary fiber as an orange or an apple — approximately 10 percent of the Daily Value.
