Harley is a trainer who fancies himself an expert on the health benefits of nuts. He stated that nuts are not good snacks, because they don’t provide much protein.

Harley is hardly an expert on nuts. While those of us who do know that nuts are an excellent healthy snack are enjoying the EFAs in our jewels; we can still admire the nut for having a little protein and a lot of crunch. Not all of us restrict our snacks to those that only provide protein… That would be a silly thought in and of itself, one that Harley would entertain.

In honor of Earth Day, we want to share a source for beautiful green pistachios with you.

Braga Organic Farms Inc

These flavorful little gems take some time to open individually, yet the reward is substantial as you chew the delicious morsel.

Pistachios are wonderful in desserts like baklava, puddings, and as toppings for ice cream or yogurt. There are endless ways to use pistachios when cooking, limited only by your own creativity. They can become the crust for fish, finish off a salad, and add texture to soft foods in so many ways that it leaves you enveloped in green ideas.

There is a commercial on TV for pistachios and while some of the scenarios are ridiculous, it still brings home the point that we love our pistachios, no matter what it takes to open the shell.

Go GREEN with organic Pistachios for Earth Day!
