Pistachios are one of the oldest nut dating back to 6000 BC and believed to have originated in the mountain ranges of West-Asia and Turkey region. The pistachio plant is a hardy desert plant (tolerant to a wide range of temperatures and even saline soil) and is now cultivated all over the world.
Qualities: the pistachios is one of the few nuts that contain most of the nutrients required by humans for complete health such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, dietary fiber, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, vitamin B-6, beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, folate, and vitamins E, C, A, and K. Pistachios have one of the highest protein content compared to other nuts.

- cardiovascular support attributed to being a very good source for mono-unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and antioxidants which help strengthen blood vessels and may correct cholesterol levels.
- reduced risk of age-related macular disease (AMD) due to high levels of carotenoid antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin
- digestive support (30 grams contain about 3 grams of dietary fiber) and may diminishing diarrhea for those suffering from Crohn's disease
- immune support related to the high content of various antioxidants that may protect the cells from the damaging oxidation of free radicals
- reducing anemia by helping absorption of iron due to its high copper content

SOOOOO GOOD
These are very addicting. They smell wonderful as well. Very glad i bought them.
Good quality with just the right amount of salt. Perfectly roasted not over done, but there is a slight strange flavour to them almost like a hint of basil. I ordered 25lbs and they came well packed and arrived in a timely manner.
Addicting!
