NUTRITIONAL INFO: California pistachios are nutrient dense. That means they supply an excellent balance of nutrients and calories. At 160 calories per ounce, California pistachios are brimming with important vitamins and minerals like thiamin (B1), phosphorus, magnesium, copper and iron.
California pistachios are "heart smart." Like all nuts, pistachios contain significant amounts of monounsaturated fat, which in recent studies has been shown to lower blood cholesterol, possibly reducing the risk of heart disease. And here's even more good news: Pistachios are low in saturated fat and are cholesterol-free.
Fiber is in and pistachios are full of it! A 1 ounce serving contains a whopping 3.1 grams of fiber. That's more than many foods recognized as good high fiber sources like celery, potatoes, raisins and wheat bread.
California pistachios are an excellent source for vegetable protein. And for those who want to include non-animal protein in the diet, pistachios, when combined with other protein-rich grains, fruits and vegetables, can fulfill your protein needs for maintaining good health.
