Pistachio - The nut that keeps on giving!

One of my new favorite snacks is the pistachio nut.  This nut is not only delicious but low in calories and contains great nutrients for you too! Pistachios are a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants! These nuts are available all year round and can be found at any local store near you. 

You can buy pistachios in different forms: shelled or unshelled.  I like them shelled because the pistachio tastes even better after the "hard work" of cracking the shells to get to the nut! Next time you are in the mood for a snack, reach for a handful of pistachios!
