Shelled, unsalted pistachios
Description
Shelled, unsalted pistachios are small, greenish-cream nuts with a subtly buttery-sweet flavor and a pleasant, crunchy texture. Their natural, delicate aroma and lack of salt make them perfect for enhancing the taste of both sweet and savory dishes, while their intense green adds an attractive visual contrast. They are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, plant protein, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, as well as antioxidants, which support heart health, regulate cholesterol levels, and promote a feeling of fullness. In the kitchen, they are suitable for salads, pesto, fish and poultry dishes, baked goods, dried fruits, and desserts, as well as being enjoyed as a standalone snack. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; for longer storage, it's best to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer, away from light and moisture.
