Q. Which is better raw or roasted pistachios?

Answer

Both raw and roasted pistachios have about the same number of calories, as well as protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. Roasting, on the other hand, may somewhat alter the structure as well as the chemical content of the nutrients. For instance, the amounts of B-complex vitamins decrease after roasting because these vitamins are not stable when exposed to heat. This is not often an issue for most people since bread and cereal goods provide a sufficient amount of vitamin B. Pistachios take on a crunchier texture thanks to the roasting process, which also alters their colour and lowers the amount of moisture they contain. Pistachios are an exception to the rule that high heat causes nutrients to be destroyed since this does not occur when they are cooked. The health advantages of these nuts are said to remain somewhat unaffected, regardless of whether they are roasted or left in their natural state, according to Healthline and other sites. Both variants have an equivalent number of calories, as well as protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
