Pistachio nuts are a great treat for snack lovers. Packed with protein, fiber, healthy fats and iron, roasted pistachios make a great healthy snack.

The Health Benefits Of Pistachios, Roasted or Raw

A single-ounce serving of roasted pistachios equals approximately 50 nuts – more nuts per serving than any other nut and all together packs in more than 10% of the Daily Value for dietary fiber, vitamin B-6, thiamin, phosphorus and copper.

Pistachios are also particularly high in phytosterols, which are directly associated with lowering cholesterol levels.

Pistachios are a very high-quality, plant-based source of protein, and provide balanced amounts of essential amino acids. In addition, pistachios are relatively high in a nonessential amino acid, arginine, which may play a potential role in prevention or reduction of cardiovascular disease. While pistachios do contain fat, that fat is predominantly monounsaturated, similar to that found in foods like olive oil.  A great addition to your regimen if you are following the Mediterranean Diet!
