Pistachios are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients. These green nuts offer a subtly sweet, nutty flavor and are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making them a wholesome and satisfying snack. They are also an excellent source of key vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, thiamine, phosphorus, and potassium. Vitamin B6 supports metabolism and nerve function, while thiamine plays a role in energy production. Phosphorus promotes bone health, and potassium helps regulate blood pressure and muscle function. Additionally, pistachios are abundant in antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and gamma-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E), which help maintain eye health and protect cells from free radical damage.
In the bustling Indian market, a wide range of pistachios are both imported and exported to cater to the diverse preferences of consumers and adapt to the ever-changing demands of the market.
