Pistachios - extremely popular nuts with a characteristic green colour and unique taste that you will love  

Pistachios are the seeds of the pistachio tree (Pistacia vera), which is native to the Middle Eastern regions. They are extremely popular nuts for snacking with a characteristic green colour. Moreover, they boast a unique taste that is loved by people all over the world and can be enjoyed at any time of the day. On top of that, they are an excellent source of healthy fats and proteins. This makes them a great choice to easily enrich your diet with unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for maintaining optimal blood cholesterol levels. The only thing you need to do is replace the saturated fats in your diet with these unsaturated fatty acids. They do not contain any salt, are unroasted and you will appreciate them, for example, as a healthy snack. However, they also fit perfectly into different breakfast porridges, cakes, Bundt cakes and other sweet desserts. Pistachios can be shelled, ground and sprinkled over fruit salads, puddings and other sweet treats. This will not only add great flavour to these dishes, but also visually enrich them with their characteristic colour.  

They are also a suitable addition into yoghurts, cottage cheese, smoothies or for the preparation of excellent pistachio ice cream. That said, they are often an integral part of the Christmas season. However, you will also appreciate them as part of salty recipes. You can use them as an ingredient for the preparation of salty pastry, unique meat marinades or as part of sauces or risotto. This way you can rest assured that they will find their use in your kitchen.  

And if you don't feel like wasting time shelling them, then definitely try our alternative in the form of shelled pistachios.
