Pistachios have 6 grams of protein per ounce, and hold the distinction of being the only nut that’s a complete protein. Complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids the body needs, but cannot make by itself, including leucine, lysine, tryptophan and more.
Pistachios may help you maintain a healthy weight, as their high fiber paired with the protein may help keep you feeling full for longer. . And they may also help support good sleep, as they’re a source of melatonin, magnesium and vitamin B6 — a trio that can help the body calm down and get more restful sleep. “If you need a little post-dinner, pre-bedtime snack, pistachios would be my suggestion,” Mirchandani says.
