Pistachios are tasty and rich in protein, fiber and vitamins. There are a number of reasons to consume these delicious nuts every day. Pistachios can be eaten as a delicious beer appetizer, but they are also a major participant in the preparation of a number of desserts, exotic Chinese cuisine dishes and more.
Just one cup of pistachios contains more than 10% of the daily value for dietary fiber, vitamin B-6, thiamine, phosphorus and honey. It is a little known fact that you can get more dietary fiber from a serving of pistachios than 1/2 cup of broccoli or spinach.
In addition, pistachios are especially rich in phytosterols, which are directly linked to lowering cholesterol levels and can protect against certain cancers.
No wonder more and more people are wondering how to roast pistachios.
Here's how to roast pistachios:
At home, pistachios are roasted pre-peeled. 2 cups of peeled pistachios are placed in a tray covered with baking paper. They are roasted in a preheated oven to 360°F (180°C), for no more than 6-8 minutes.
They will turn out very fragrant once they are ready. Take them out of the oven and immediately transfer them into a plate.
If you want to peel the nuts, place them on a clean cloth and rub them with it. This is easiest to do when the nuts are still warm.
Leave the nuts to cool down and then you can store them.
