Pistachios are small, vibrantly colored tree nuts renowned for their rich, buttery flavor and distinctive pale green hue wrapped in a subtle purple skin. Encased in a partially opened tan shell, they are widely enjoyed as a snack, crushed into desserts like baklava and gelato, or incorporated into savory salads and grain dishes. Exceptionally rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, pistachios support heart health, aid in weight management, and promote healthy vision.
