Tag: Pistachio side effects

While pistachios are a nutritious powerhouse, with one ounce providing a significant amount of nutrients and antioxidants, they aren't suitable for everyone. Certain health conditions and allergies can make consuming pistachio nuts risky, leading to adverse reactions ranging from mild digestive upset to severe allergic responses.

According to the American Pistachio Growers, a one-ounce serving of pistachios contains 49 kernels, more nuts per serving than any other snack nut, for just 160 calories. This makes them a satisfying and nutrient-dense choice for daily snacking, but moderation is still key for a balanced diet.
