Pistachios are surging in popularity across the U.S. as more Americans turn to the popular green snack<\/a> for flavor and health benefits.<\/p>\n

Once prized in ancient Persia, pistachios are now showing up in everything from chocolate bars to coffee drinks.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The tree nuts have ancient origins and have long been popular in the Middle East and Asia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EATING ONE TYPE OF NUT DAILY COULD LOWER ‘BAD’ CHOLESTEROL, IMPROVE HEART HEALTH, STUDY FINDS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

They were mentioned in the Old Testament and treated as a luxury in ancient Persia. Now, pistachios are having a moment in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Janelle Connell, a registered dietitian and personalized nutrition expert<\/a> at\u00a0the health testing company Viome, shared thoughts about the pistachio craze.<\/p>\n

Pistachios offer gut benefits, in addition to healthy fats and protein,<\/a> Connell said.<\/p>\n

These nuts “help your microbiome make compounds that support digestion and immunity,” she told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

One ounce of pistachios, measuring roughly 50 kernels, is packed with 6 grams of plant-based protein<\/a> and 3 grams of gut-friendly fiber \u2013 plus nearly 300 milligrams of potassium, close to a small banana.<\/p>\n

“They’re also lighter on total fat than most nuts while still supplying a balanced mix of mono- and polyunsaturated fats,” Connell said.<\/p>\n

Pistachios are also rich in CoQ10 and vitamin B6 \u2013 both important for energy production \u2013 though Connell notes they may not be beneficial to everyone.<\/p>\n

“We often recommend pistachios when a person’s biology shows signs of low energy production \u2013 with the caveat that they’re moderately high in oxalates and don’t suit everyone,” she said.<\/p>\n

“If you’re sensitive to FODMAPs or oxalates, portion size and individual tolerance still matter.”<\/p>\n

For consumers looking to maximize the health benefits<\/a> of pistachios, Connell suggested going for real pistachios “in smarter vehicles.”<\/p>\n

These include dark chocolate with chopped pistachios, homemade pistachio butter on toast and pistachio energy bites made from dates and oats, Connell said.<\/p>\n

The dietitian also suggested trying out a pistachio-matcha latte with pistachio paste or pistachios on Greek yogurt. If pistachios disrupt your digestion, Connell said that almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds work just as well.<\/p>\n

If you’re trying to lose weight,<\/a> Connell noted that pistachios offer built-in portion control, thanks to their shells.<\/p>\n

“Cracking shells slows you down and encourages mindful eating,” she said, adding that they’re also packed with antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you think you’re getting all these nutritional benefits through pistachio syrups or Dubai chocolate,<\/a> you’d be mistaken.<\/p>\n

“Added sugars quickly outweigh benefits and strip away the very things you want from the nut,” Connell said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For the biggest payoff, choose plain or lightly roasted pistachios. Want more flavor? Roast at home with chili powder, garlic powder or paprika instead of adding sugar.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
