Pistachios are one of the oldest, and most nutritious, edible nuts. They are rich in dietary fiber to keep you full and support a healthy digestive system. Raw pistachios are a plentiful source of antioxidants, which fight damaging free radicals and may lower the risk for diseases associated with premature aging. Pistachios are an excellent source of protein, and provide adequate amounts of amino acids.
