Appreciating Pistachios and what their hues mean to good health

Nutritionally, American pistachios are packed with essential nutrients. They are a good source of protein, healthy fats, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and high in antioxidants.


American pistachios are beloved for their distinct taste and texture, but their vibrant hues add an extra element of visual appeal.


The diverse hues of American pistachios not only enhance their visual appeal but also reflect the natural variations and characteristics of the nuts. Whether you prefer the classic green, the captivating purple, or any other color variation, American pistachios offer a delightful visual experience alongside their exceptional taste and nutritional benefits.


 

American Pistachios: What their hues mean

Yellow hues: Pistachios get their yellow hues from a catechincalled epigallocatechingallate (EGCG). ECCG may protect our cells from oxidative damage from radicals.

The deep purple in the skin comes from anthocyanin: Pistachios get their purple hue from anthocyanin which are responsible for the dark hue and skin colors of many plants and flowers.

Yellow and green hue: This is for lutein and zeaxanthin. Pistachios contain both of these which contributes to their green and yellow hues. Emerging evidence suggests that this may protect from sun damage and some types of muscular degeneration.

The contrasting colors can be used to enhance the aesthetics of various dishes, from salads and desserts to baked goods and savory recipes. Incorporating pistachios with different hues not only adds a pop of color but also adds depth and visual interest to the overall presentation.

American pistachios are easily available in India with major dry fruit retailers and e-commerce platforms. Just ask or search for “California pistachios.”
