Oats Pistachio cookies

Oats Pistachio cookies

All I could remember about pistachio nuts from my school days were a bunch of green tinged nuts in the hands of senior girls in school. I was 12 years old and all I knew was about cashew nuts,almonds and peanuts and I could hardly recognize it as a different variety of nuts.

As I had a bleak memory of these nuts and I never really bothered to buy them from stores till I received a gift pack with various flavours of them on a Diwali day. I owe a big thanks to my dad for introducing me to these delicious source of energy.

Pistachio belongs to the family of cashews and is a rich source of energy and antioxidants which contains vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. When compared to other nuts they are an excellent source of Vitamin B, Copper and Potassium. Pistachios are used in preparing many Indian sweets, Kulfi and sweet pastry Baklava.

According to research they help in lowering LDL cholesterol and increase good cholesterol levels in the body and they are a good choice for diet conscious people.
