Roasted and salted pistachios make a great snack or side dish. Under the hard shell is a green pistachio with a sweet taste and pleasant aroma. They are a valuable component of the Mediterranean diet and are considered very nutritious and healthy, since, like most nuts, they are high-calorie foods, due to the high content of unsaturated fatty acids and low water content.
- Pistachios are rich in fiber and are an excellent source of magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium.
- They provide the body with a good dose of vitamins E, B1 and folic acid.
