Description

Raw Pistachio in Shell Per LB

Taste:

• Raw Pistachios are enveloped in a soft yellow outer hull blushed with pink, maroon, and purple-red hues. Beneath this hull is a beige shell, protecting the bright green, raw Pistachio. Raw Pistachios have a starchy texture, similar to a fresh bean, and have a buttery and milky consistency. The nuts emit a citrus aroma and have a mild and greener flavor compared to dried pistachios, with slightly bitter and tropical nuances.

Nutrition:

• Raw Pistachios contain high amounts of protein, unsaturated fat, and dietary fiber. The nuts are incredibly rich in vitamin B6, which helps to regulate blood sugar. Raw Pistachios are also a good source of many vitamins and minerals, including phosphorus, thiamine, potassium, manganese, and copper, used by the body to maintain blood vessels and connective tissues. Pistachios can cause an allergic reaction in some people, especially those with a peanut or tree nut allergy, or those allergic to other members of the Anacardiaceae family like poison ivy, sumac, and mangos.

Storage:

• Storing pistachios in a cool, dry pantry is sufficient. If you want to keep them for longer periods, the fridge is best. If placed in the fridge, transfer the pistachios to an airtight container or resealable bag to prevent moisture and odors from seeping in
