Not only are pistachios incredibly tasty & fun to eat, they’re also a great source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Loaded with nutrients such as Vitamin B6 and potassium, pistachios are low in calories yet high in fiber, helping to promote a healthy gut which eventually contributes to radiant, healthy skin!
