Health Benefits

High in Vitamin B, thiamin and phosphorus, pistachios are a healthy snack! The pistachio was recently found to be one the greatest sources of antioxidants, which are thought to fight cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Specifically, they contain a great deal of the antioxidant Lutein, which has shown to reduce the occurrence of eye disease. As with other nuts, pistachios are found to be a good source of monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while maintaining beneficial HDL (good) cholesterol, which is shown to help lower the risk of heart disease.
