Health Benefits

Pistachios contain carotenoid antioxidants. These antioxidants help in reducing the risk of contracting age-related macular disease in the elderly.

Pistachios also help in eliminating dryness from the skin. The saturated fat plays a major role in this aspect.

Pistachios contain a good source of phosphorus — about 60% of the daily recommendation. It’s beneficial for glucose tolerance and breaking down proteins into amino acids. Therefore, diabetic individuals can benefit by eating a handful of this dry fruit.

Pistachios have a high copper content, which helps in the higher absorption of iron into the body from food sources. This can help combat conditions like anemia.
