Believe it or not, you can purchase raw pistachios that are unshelled. Roughly 90% of that fat in pistachios is unsaturated, making them excellent for cardiovascular health. Pistachios are rich in thiamine, vitamin B6, potassium, manganese, copper, fiber, protein, and a variety of antioxidants. Needless to say…these energy bites are little nutrient powerhouses!
