Like other nuts, pistachios contain a mix of fibres that help support digestion and feed beneficial gut bacteria. 'A 30g portion contains around 13g of fat, with only about 1.5g coming from saturated fat,' Hobson says. Most of the fat in pistachios is unsaturated, which is associated with better heart health when consumed as part of a balanced diet. What nutrients do pistachios contain? 'Pistachios contain several antioxidant compounds, including lutein and zeaxanthin (linked to eye health), polyphenols and vitamin E compounds,' Hobson explains.
