Pistachios

Pistachios are the seeds of the Pistachio vera tree, which produces clusters of small fruits that harden and break over time, exposing the seed within. Despite the fact that they are seeds, they are treated as nuts in the culinary world and are categorized as a tree nut allergen.

A serving of pistachios contains the same amount of protein as one egg.

When compared to most other nuts, these nuts have a higher ratio of essential amino acids to protein concentration. Essential amino acids are those that must be received through diet for the body to use to produce proteins that are required for vital tasks.

Blending pistachios into nut butter to munch over toast, apples, or crackers is a pleasant way to enjoy them.

HIGHLIGHT:

• Pistachios have as much protein as an egg per serving, with 6 grams of protein every 1/4 cup (30 grams), as well as a significant level of important amino acids.
