Health benefits of pistachios, pista

These nuts are also a very good source of protein and keep you full for long time. Like walnuts and almonds, pistachios can also cut heart disease risk. Its high monounsaturated fat content may actually lower cholesterol levels in the blood. However pistachios are often sold in salted form.
