A Note on Pistachios

Shelled or unshelled, pistachios are a sweet and meaty green nut to add to your diet. One ounce of pistachios contains more fiber than a half-cup of spinach and the same amount as an orange or apple. They are also a good source of vitamin B-6, thiamin, copper, phosphorus, and magnesium. I recommend avoiding dyed pistachios and instead eating only the natural ones (any green hue of the actual nut is natural and comes from chlorophyll.)
