Our organic pistachios: more than “just nuts”

Pistachios are one of the oldest nuts in the world and part of the Anacardiaceae family. As you might know, pistachios originate from Asia and grow mainly in Iran and Irak. Archaeological evidence suggests that the connection between pistachios and humans dates back to before 6000 BC. This fruit was also cultivated, besides Iran and Irak, in Syria and arrived later in Rome and the West.

The consumption of pistachios may entail many health benefits such as a healthy heart, weight control, prevention of diabetes and high blood pressure and an improved digestion.

The pistachio is one of the few nuts which are full of nutrients. It contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fibre, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, vitamin B6, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, Vitamin E, A and K. All these nutrients render pistachios an excellent food for human health.

Pistachios are usually not seasonal nuts and we offer them during all seasons of the year in organic quality.
