If we talk about food that can help improve your eyesight, your first thought will probably be carrots and leafy greens, and you won’t be wrong. But what if we told you that there’s a tiny but mighty green nut that can almost double (yes, you heard that right) your lutein levels and give you hawk-like eyesight? Pistachios, come to the front! Let’s talk about how this incredible super snack, which can also be found in our bulk catalog, can seriously improve your health.
What’s up with pistachios?
A study held by researchers from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University shows that adding 57gr (2 ounces) of pistachios to a diet can increase macular pigment ocular density (MPOD). What is that? Basically a barrier that protects eyes from the infamous blue light that’s pretty much in every device we own these days. This is thanks to the high levels of lutein that this nut contains, actually it’s the “only nut that provides a measurable source of lutein” according to the researchers. This component is a type of organic pigment, cousin to beta-carotene (any orange veggie or fruit you can think of) and vitamin A, which among other cool things can help with healthful aging.
Pistachios take the spotlight
Food is like fuel for your body, what you eat it’s crucial for a healthy and happy life. It’s no wonder that pistachios have become such a popular trend these days since people now more than ever are very mindful of their food choices and prioritize nutrition and quality. This superhero of a nut is high in proteins, low in fat, has vitamins A, C, E, B, and K, potassium, calcium, you name it! Can be found in drinks at your favorite coffee shop, TikTok dessert trends, pastries, and salads. It’s a pistachio fever!
