Pistachios (Pistacia vera) are nuts that contain many beneficial nutrients. They are rich in vitamins such as niacin and folic acid.

They contribute to heart health as they contain phytosterols, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, and antioxidants that help reduce cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis.

They are low in calories, with a handful of pistachios providing about 170 calories. Additionally, they contain less fat than other nuts, most of which are healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.

Pistachios contain high amounts of antioxidants and are the richest source of dietary fiber among nuts. Dietary fiber promotes good gastrointestinal function and better regulation of blood sugar levels.
