Thanks to the blanching process pistachios retain their full flavor, natural color and aroma, and hardness. What is more, they retain the ingredients that distinguish pistachios from other nuts – apart from fiber and protein they contain many vitamins, iron, phosphorus and potassium. They add energy, strengthen bones, regulate metabolic processes. A large number of antioxidants, unsaturated fatty acids and many health-promoting properties make them a frequent guest on our tables. They have been known in world cuisines for centuries. They taste great on their own, and add a unique flavor and color to meals. In desserts they break the sweet taste, and in dry dishes add sweetness. Low-calorie, they are an ideal supplement to a diet. They contribute to cleansing the body and slow down the aging process. In blanched form they are even more delicate than raw pistachios and are perfect for baked goods and desserts, but also for fillings, pastes and soups. They add an oriental touch to domestic cuisine and create unobvious combinations with meats and fish. They make even simple oatmeal or yogurt more exquisite.
