Pistachio has become a popular
snack food product in many world markets. |
|
|
|
We have personally met our
suppliers from Iran. |
|
They offer different types
of pistachio. Each type has a few different sizes. If
you prefer to request one size, please show that on the
request form. |

“Scientific evidence
suggests, but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per
day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet
low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the
risk of heart disease.”
Compared to other popular
snack nuts, pistachios deliver the highest source of
beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. In fact, in a
study conducted at Pennsylvania State University,
subjects with high cholesterol were assigned three
different isocaloric diets consisting of 1.5 or three
ounces of pistachios a day or a heart healthy diet
without pistachios. After one month, researchers noted
increased levels of lutein, beta-carotene and
gammatocopherol in the pistachio-rich diets and further
showed that pistachios may provide cardiovascular health
support.
Pistachio figures
prominently among other nuts due to its nutritious
value. Because of its high food value and favorable
taste. |

BEST SOURCE OF PHYTOSTEROLS
Pistachios offer more phytosterols
than any other nut. This is important because
phytosterols are similar in structure to
cholesterol, and healthy phytosterols compete with
unhealthy cholesterol in the diet for absorption in
the body. A 30-gram serving of pistachios provides
64 milligrams of phytosterols; walnuts, 22
milligrams, roasted almonds, 38 milligrams. |
 |
GOOD SOURCE OF HEART-HEALTHY FATS
Pistachios are a good source of
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Of the 14
grams of fat per 30-gram serving, the majority
(nearly 90 percent) is of the healthy unsaturated
type. Monounsaturated fat comprises 55 percent of
the fat in pistachios; 32 percent is
polyunsaturated. And, because no oils are used
during roasting, pistachios are naturally trans-fat
free. |

ANTIOXIDANT SUPERFOOD
Pistachios are a heart throb when it
comes to antioxidants, offering a higher antioxidant
capacity compared to other popular snack nuts like
almonds and cashews. In a 30-gram serving,
pistachios have an antioxidant capacity of 2302
TE/100g compared to almonds with 1336 TE/100g and
cashews, 584 TE/100g. |
