A new study conducted by Cornell University, and published in the journal Nutrients, found that pistachios have a high antioxidant capacity. |

 |
In fact, the antioxidant capacity of pistachio rivals that of popular antioxidant-containing foods, including blueberries, pomegranates, cherries and red wine. |

Researchers used 2 methods of measuring
antioxidants: the accepted measurement established
by the United States Department of Agriculture, called
ORAC, which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity; and CAA, short for Cellular Antioxidant
Activity, which is a new method that looks more closely
at what might happen with cells in the human body. |

Pistachios are also a good source of complete protein. Perfect for those looking to follow a plant-based diet. |
