Crunchy Common Turkish Pistachios, Certification : FSSAI

Turkey produces two types of pistachios: Antep, which are the small, slim ones in brown shells from the area around Gaziantep in western Turkey, and round, fatter nuts with pale beige shells from Siirt, in eastern Turkey, not far from the border with Iraq. ..

The pistachios grown in the village of Bronte, in Sicily, are known to Italians as “green gold.” And the moment you bite into an arancino at an old-school local bar, it's easy to see why.

Both raw and roasted pistachios contain a lot of fat: about 13 grams, which is 17% of the recommended daily total. But most of it is monounsaturated fat, a heart-healthy type that can help lower levels of bad cholesterol. Pistachios are also a good source of protein; a serving contains about 6 grams.
