According to scientific research, eating 42.5 grams of nuts daily – including pistachios – can reduce the chances of developing heart disease.

If that wasn't enough, pistachios have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol, otherwise known as bad cholesterol. Moreover, due to the protein and fiber content, the food provides satiety and reduces calorie intake, which positively affects weight loss.

When served with the peel, satiety is enhanced and more benefits are achieved. The green variety, contrary to what many people think, is low in calories, especially when compared to other types of nuts. A 20-gram serving of food contains only 159 calories, while the same serving of nuts provides 190 calories.

20% of calories come from proteins, which are full of essential amino acids, which greatly improve the quality of the diet.
