How to open a pistachio
If you’ve ever eaten a pistachio, you know that cracking open a pistachio is one whole work. To quell the urge to never touch a pistachio again, I found a few different ways to open those pesky pistachios that seem to be glued shut!
- For some, the shell can be easily opened with your fingers
- Nutcrackers aren’t just for walnuts – use a nutcracker!
- Place a handful on a secure work surface and cover with a towel. Use a hammer (or something similar) to hit it. just enough pressure on the nuts
- Use an empty shell from another nut to pry it open
If all else fails, next time be sure to buy a packet of pre-cracked pistachios. Yes, there are- lol!
Health benefits of overnight oats with pistachios
pistachios are such a underestimated Mother. Unlike other nuts, one serving is pistachios a lot of greater. Instead of having a handful of almonds, you could have 49 pistachios. What is that? Like 3 handfuls?!
In this serving size you get 3g fiber and 6g dietary fiber. That’s a decent amount for a small snack!
Pistachios are also a great tool lowering your cholesterol. One study found that replacing some of your calories with pistachios may help lower your cholesterol levels. In fact, 67% of the participants in this study reduced their LDL (bad) and increased their HDL (good) cholesterol. That’s great!
