Diet Nutrition

Like all nuts, pistachio nuts are an excellent source of protein.
Unsalted pistachios have a high-potassium low-sodium content which helps to normalise blood pressure, maintain water balance in the body and strengthen muscles.
Pistachio nuts are also a good source of vitamin E which boosts the immune system and alleviates fatigue.
They contain lesser amounts of magnesium, phosphorous, iron and zinc.
Diet Note . Most pistachio nuts are salted and because of the high sodium content should only be eaten in small quantities.
