They may be small, but the puny pistachio packs a nutritional punch.
Here are 10 reasons to go nuts for pistachios:
1. They're nutrient-dense.According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrient Database, pistachios provide more than 30 different vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
2. They have as much protein as an egg.A serving (1 oz or 49 nuts) has 160 calories and 6 grams of protein – about the same as an egg.
3. Their shells may help you eat less.It's true: Preliminary research suggests, but does not prove, that in-shell pistachios may help you reduce calorie consumption. In one study, people who left pistachio shells on their desk lowered their calorie intake by 18 percent compared to participants who discarded shells immediately after consumption. The shells may help remind you of how much you've eaten, so you're less likely to overindulge.
