🌱 One of the oldest flowering nut trees, humans have eaten pistachio nuts for at least 9,000 years. These charismatic shelled frens were in the company of Queen of Sheba herself, and she loved these green little delicacies, which were considered a symbol of happiness. They say the Queen even took her country’s entire harvest of pistachios for her and her royal court. How can you blame her? They're a good source of unsaturated fatty acids and potassium. Both have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory traits! 👑

🌱 FRESH FACTS: Personally, I don’t see the resemblance, but it’s true. Both mangos and pistachios come from the evergreen tree family. Their other weird relative? Poison Ivy. Those family parties must be pretty weird. Oh and they’re biblical! Pistachios are thought to have been one of the foods that Adam brought with him to Earth and, therefore, grew in the Garden of Eden. The only other nut to get a cameo in this bestseller? The almond. 🙏
