Did you know ? A pistachio is rather caloric but rich in good fat. A 30 g serving of pistachios provides as much potassium as half of a large banana.
Pistachio is also rich in antioxidants, which is likely due to their unique components such as vitamins E, carotenoids, phenolic compounds and flavonoids. These nutrients help to compensate for deficiencies, but are also good allies in times of stress.
The antioxidant capacity of pistachio is greater than that of most foods known for their antioxidant power, such as blueberries, pomegranates, cherries, red beets and even red wine. “Tell yourself that 100g of pistachios is equivalent to 17.6g of protein. If you eat 100g of eggs, that is equivalent to 12.5g of protein,” explains doctor Jimmy Mohamed.
Why is it recommended to eat pistachios?
Consumption of pistachios between meals, mid-morning or afternoon, is a healthy and satisfying practice, ideal for avoiding weight gain because it helps curb the appetite until meals. Furthermore, its nutrients promote concentration and work performance.
The shell of pistachios contributes to reduce caloric intake. The shelling process slows down ingestion and the empty shells act as a signal to the consumer, who is aware of the quantity ingested. All nuts are filling and reduce hunger due to their fiber content.
