Delicious and healthy – for nut lovers, the pistachio is a much-favored treat. Plus there’s great pleasure in cracking open the hard shell to find the slightly purple-green dry fruit inside. Ideal for snacking, the pistachio often makes its way into desserts and other savories as well, especially as garnish. And given that it’s laden with vitamin B6, copper, and manganese – there’s no reason why you should not eat them.
However, while buying pistachios, you need to make sure the source is reliable. Stale pistachios turn pungent and can upset your stomach easily. Therefore, here’s a list of brands that sell some of the best pistachios money can buy. Happy munching.
