The pistachio, Pistacia vera, a member of the cashew family, is a small tree originating from Central Asia and the Middle East. The tree produces seeds that are widely consumed as food. Pistacia vera often is confused with other species in the genus Pistacia that are also known as pistachio. These other species can be distinguished by their geographic distributions, in the wild and their seeds which are much smaller and have a soft shell. Raw pistachios are a low-sodium food, a delicious way to stay within the 1,500 milligrams of daily sodium recommended by the American Heart Association. The sweet nuts are also chock-full of nutritional benefits.One quarter cup of raw pistachios supplies essential nutrients, including healthy fats, protein and vitamins and minerals. Phenylalanine can boost mood, decrease pain and curb appetite, while arginine can boost the immune system, according to Phyllis A Balch's book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing. Pistachio nuts contain no trans fats or cholesterol. Pistachios also contain phytosterols, which can work to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines, reports Balch. Pistachios are low in vitamins A, C and E, but they contain large amounts of two of the B vitamins. One cup supplies 40 percent of your needs for vitamin B-6 and more than 20 percent for thiamine. vitamin B-6 assists in the metabolism of amino acids and glycogen. Thiamine, also known as B-1, is important for proper digestion, brain function and appetite. • The Many Health Benefits of • GENUINE WAYS TO EARN MONEY ONLINE, start making easy money working from home, click here: https://goo.gl/hCEHE2 • http://berryfruit.info/berry-fruit-si...
