American Pistachios – A perfect snack for mindful eating

American Pistachios 

Since ancient times, Pistachios have been revered as a symbol of robust health and wellness. These aren’t just delicious and fun to eat but also enriched with nutrients which are beneficial for a great health.

American Pistachios have a few unique properties that set them apart from the rest nuts.
They are versatile since they can be eaten alone as a snack and also work well in many dishes, in baked items or can be used to add a crunchy topping for various salads.

I attended a virtual knowledge session organized by American Pistachio Growers (APG) on 27th May’2020. It was an insightful session where Dr. Mike Roussell (Globally renowned Nutrition Consultant, Author and Advisor) spoke about the benefits of Pistachios as a source of plant based ‘complete’ protein.

In this post you will find all the information I consumed during the session.

We learnt that American Pistachios pack a powerful nutritional punch to a diet.
It’s one serving (28g) contains around 49 nuts which provides-
• 160 kcal
• 3g fiber
• 6g protein
• 580 g potassium
• Vitamin B6, Ritalin, Phosphorous and copper.
It was interesting to learn that American Pistachios contain more antioxidants than most seeds and nuts.

It’s a perfect snack for the entire family (including kids).

Dr. Mike Roussell stated that “Research that proves that American Pistachios are a complete protein is crucial since it shows that these pistachios contain 9 essential amino acids which a human body needs in a form that is easily absorbable and accessible for the body to use. This is unique since the other plant proteins are incomplete as additional complimentary proteins must be added to get the essential amino acids. ”

Dr. Roussell shared insights about the importance of pistachio intake for adults as well as children.
