Raw Pistachios Shell

Raw Pistachios Shell

Characteristic of shelled peanuts is that they are rich in good fatty acids and specifically in monounsaturated fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids have beneficial properties for our cardiovascular system.
Also, the fat content of nuts helps in fast satiety and in the management of hunger. Also, our favorite pistachios contain trace elements such as copper and manganese, fiber, plant sterols and antioxidants such as lutein and anthocyanins, two components to which the pistachio fruit owes its unique green-purple color.
Scientific studies have shown that the addition of peanuts to the Mediterranean diet can improve blood sugar levels, endothelial function, as well as parameters related to inflammation and oxidative stress.
Other studies show that regular consumption of peanuts improves the lipid profile, ie improves total cholesterol levels, increases the "good" HDL cholesterol in healthy adults, while also providing significant antioxidant benefits.
