Chicken and Pistacio Fried Rice

A single one-ounce serving of pistachios (about 49 of them) has as much potassium as half of a large banana, more fiber than a half-cup of broccoli or spinach, and about the same protein as an ounce of soybeans.

1. Interesting! I didn't know that about pistachios.

Bill buys them for snacks when we run across them, but I didn't know how good they are for you!

2. A friend has told me about them,

but doesn't buy those that I like. When I get my own kitchen, tho . . . .

3. I LOVE Pistacio's

I ate the ones dyed in that what was probably poisonous red dye all the time when I was a kid. They use to turn our finger tips red. They were much saltier too.

They don't produce them like that anymore which is probably a good thing. The "Natural" ones are just as good if not better.

I'm happy to see they're so good for you.
