About Pistachio milk

Pistachio milk is a plant-based, dairy-free alternative made by blending pistachios with water and straining to create a smooth, creamy texture. Pistachios, originating from the Middle East and Central Asia, are rich in nutrients and have been cultivated for thousands of years as a staple in many cuisines. Pistachio milk is naturally greenish in color and has a mildly nutty flavor. Nutritionally, it is rich in heart-healthy fats, protein, and vitamins such as vitamin E and B6. It is also a source of antioxidants, along with potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which support overall health. While it is often unsweetened, sweetened varieties are available. Pistachio milk lacks lactose, making it suitable for people with dairy intolerances. However, its protein content is lower compared to cow's milk, which might be a consideration for some diets.

Health Benefits

• Supports heart health due to unsaturated fats and potassium, which help regulate blood pressure.
• High levels of vitamin E act as antioxidants, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.
• Vitamin B6 in pistachios boosts brain function and supports serotonin production for improved mood.
• Contains magnesium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health and energy production.
• Rich in plant-based compounds such as phytosterols, which may help lower cholesterol levels.
