Pistachio Health Benefits
Smooth and creamy in texture; mild and nutty in flavour – our premium pistachio butter is the perfect addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Made with dry roasted organic pistachios, there are many benefits to enjoying this nutrient dense nut butter:
1. Powerful Antioxidants - Two carotenoids - lutein and zeaxanthin are responsible for the green hue, along with chlorophyll. Carotenoids are antioxidants that can improve your immune system and provide you with protection from disease.
2. Protein - With 6 g protein per 1 oz serving (or 2 tablespoons of pistachio butter), pistachios are an excellent source of plant-based protein.
3. Vitamins and Minerals - Pistachios are a great source of vitamin B6 (25% DV), thiamine (20% DV), and copper (20% DV). They also contain potassium, magnesium, iron, and calcium.
4. Healthy Fats - Pistachios contain 12 g of healthy unsaturated fats per serving including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Read more about healthy fats here!
