As World Nutrition Day shines a spotlight on healthy eating, pistachios are emerging as the go-to protein snack for mindful munchers. Nutrition experts highlight that pistachios aren’t just a tasty treat—they’re a complete protein source, providing all nine essential amino acids the body can’t produce on its own. Just a 28-gram handful delivers 6 grams of protein, rivaling an egg, and outshining other nuts like cashews and walnuts.
Beyond protein, pistachios offer over 30 vitamins and minerals, contain only 2 grams of natural sugar per serving, and have no added sugars. Their in-shell variety even encourages portion control, making them a smart, satisfying choice for anyone seeking a nutritious boost.
