Chopped pistachios

Description

Chopped pistachios are small seeds with an intense green interior surrounded by a thin brown skin, with a delicately juicy, slightly sweet, and nutty-buttery flavor with a subtle hint of spiciness. Their texture is crunchy, and the small pieces add a pleasant texture to dishes, making them great as a topping for salads, yogurts, and desserts, an ingredient in bread and cookies, a component of pesto, or a coating for meats and fish. Nutritionally, chopped pistachios are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamin E, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus, as well as antioxidants that support heart health and metabolism. To maintain freshness and prevent rancidity, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, preferably in the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage, away from light and moisture.
