Sports nutrition
Packed with protein and minerals as well as key antioxidants, pistachios are the all-natural way to fuel fitness.
Unlike many sports bars and processed sports foods and beverages on the market, unsalted pistachios are 100 percent natural with just one ingredient the pistachio. They are also less expensive than most processed sports food offerings.
Roasted and salted pistachios may be a more natural way to get back the important nutrients you lose during exercise – potassium and sodium – compared to popular sports drinks on the market. A serving of pistachios provides 300mg of potassium and about 130mg of sodium with only 2g of sugar. A serving of a popular sports drink provides only 30mg of potassium, 110mg of sodium with 14g of sugar.
