Celebrate National Pistachio Day
It’s National Pistachio Day! Sweet! We’re sure that you know by now that our enthusiasm for our products extends to pistachios in their many scrumptious forms. What we really like about these nuts, besides their addictively delicious flavor, is their amazing health benefits. These perks make it that much easier to incorporate this guilt-free snack into our daily diet.
First of all, pistachios are a pretty filling snack. An ounce of pistachios is equal to about 49 nuts, which is a fairly large serving. These yummy nuts are also a rich source of plant protein, with 6 grams in a serving. Heart-healthy monounsaturated fat makes up the majority of the fat in pistachios. A diet that contains healthy fat will keep you satisfied and energized.
Pistachios offer up good doses of vitamin B-6, thiamin, fiber, phosphorus and copper. They’re also rich in phytosterols, which have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and may provide protection against certain types of cancer. For such small nuts, they sure are mighty!
At NutsOnline, we offer quite a few different products that can help your get your pistachio fix. You can start out with some roasted in-shell pistachios or roasted shelled pistachios. Dry roasted pistachios and raw shelled pistachios also help curb our cravings. Old-fashioned red pistachios may remind you of your childhood, and Turkish Siirt pistachios and Turkish Antep pistachios give the snack a gourmet touch.
If flavored nuts are your cup of tea, you’re in luck! If you think spice is nice, give our habanero pistachios, chili lemon pistachios or chili lime pistachios a whirl. Garlic onion pistachios, and salt and pepper pistachios also have a nice kick.
Can’t decide which pistachios to order? Our Pistachio Galore Tray makes a great gift for the pistachio lover in your life! The tray includes our California pistachios, red pistachios, Turkish Antep pistachios, habanero pistachios, chocolate toffee pistachios and salted no shell pistachios. Something for everyone!
