Support cognitive health

Experts say that pistachios can support brain health and cognitive function. That's because the nuts contain lutein and zeaxanthin, which play an important role in brain function.

Regular consumption of pistachios can improve memory and cognitive performance.

Vitamin B7 in pistachios is very important for metabolism, and selenium in its composition stimulates the immune system and supports thyroid health.

Blood sugar control

Nuts contain protein and fiber and are low in carbohydrates, which has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.
