GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind pistachio nuts, dry roasted, unsalted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

+

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 21.0 g protein and 10.3 g fibre per 100 g, combining two nutrients that can support fullness in a measured serving.
  • Provides potassium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium together with vitamin B6, vitamin E and vitamin K.
  • Most of the 45.8 g total fat is unsaturated, while dry roasting avoids the extra oil coating used for oil-roasted products.
  • Contains only 6 mg sodium per 100 g in the USDA unsalted profile, compared with 428 mg in its USDA salted counterpart.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains about 572 kcal per 100 g, and shell weight must not be counted as edible food when estimating a portion.
  • Pistachio is a tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; clinical cross-reactivity and manufacturing cross-contact with cashew are important concerns.
  • Whole kernels and discarded shells are choking hazards for young children and require careful, age-appropriate serving.
  • Unsalted, salted, oil-roasted and flavoured pistachios are nutritionally distinct; a branded package label supersedes this generic profile.
  • Poor drying or storage can cause rancidity or mould and aflatoxin risk; discard mouldy, damaged, bitter or stale-smelling nuts.
