Pistachios are among the nuts that have the highest antioxidant content. They are rich in nutrients and may promote heart health, digestive health, weight loss, and blood sugar control. Pistachios also have benefits for vision and can help improve haemoglobin levels.
Botanical description
The pistachio tree has wide-spreading branches but rarely exceeds 9 m in height. Each leaf typically consists of 1-5 pairs of thick, broad, leathery, pinnate leaflets. The fruits, known as drupes, are white and range in length from 1.5 to 2 cm. They often have a tendency to split on one side without releasing the seed. The nut itself is covered by a thin, reddish skin that firmly adheres to a greenish kernel. The kernels are single, firm, and have a pleasant, slight resinous flavour.
