What Are Pistachio Kernels?

Pistachio kernels are the edible, green-tinted seeds found inside pistachio nuts. By removing the outer shell and often the thin purple-brown skin, we present you with pure, clean, ready-to-use pistachio meat that is:

• Naturally raw or lightly roasted

• Unsalted to maintain flexibility in recipes

• Perfectly sized for cooking, baking, or eating right out of the bag

Our pistachios are sourced from trusted orchards and processed with strict quality standards, ensuring they retain their signature flavor, crunch, and nutrition.

Health Benefits

Supports Heart Health

Pistachios are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which help reduce LDL cholesterol and promote good HDL cholesterol. They are also a good source of plant sterols that support cardiovascular health.

Promotes Weight Control

Despite being energy-dense, pistachios may help with weight management due to their high protein and fiber content, which encourages satiety and reduces overall calorie intake.

Enhances Eye Health

Naturally high in lutein and zeaxanthin, pistachios support long-term eye health and may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Boosts Immunity and Cell Health

With significant amounts of Vitamin B6, copper, and other antioxidants, pistachios contribute to immune function, brain health, and cell repair.

Regulates Blood Sugar

Their low glycemic index and fiber-rich profile make them suitable for those managing diabetes or blood sugar fluctuations.
