Pistachios

Pistachios are small, green-hued tree nuts used widely in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Central Asian cuisines, enjoyed as a snack, garnish or ingredient in sweets and savory dishes. They provide 21g of protein per 100g, making them a good plant-based protein snack. Nutritionally, pistachios are rich in unsaturated fats, dietary fiber and contain notable amounts of vitamin B6 and copper, nutrients that support energy metabolism and immune/connective tissue health. Their fat profile is largely heart-friendly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and they offer more fiber and protein per ounce than many other nuts. From a health perspective, pistachios deliver a high-quality amino acid profile and sensible amounts of fiber, making them a satiating, nutrient-dense snack; they are best eaten unsalted or lightly salted to keep sodium low.
