“…The most common edible nuts are walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios, almonds, macadamias, and pine nuts. Nuts with a low digestible carbohydrate concentration contain various nutrients such as dietary fibers, proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, micronutrients, minerals, and phytochemicals (Polmann et al., 2022).…”

Cognitive disorders, including dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, pose significant public health issues. Preventing/delaying their onset is essential as effective medical treatments are unavailable. Nuts contain bioactive compounds, including fatty acids, macronutrients such as proteins and dietary fibers, micronutrients, and polyphenols; these act synergistically preventing age‐related diseases. Epidemiological investigations have established that high nut consumption reduces cognitive impairment risk, suggesting it is useful for cognitively impaired individuals; however, clinical data on the effects of nut consumption on cognitive function are lacking. This review summarized nut consumption effects on oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and gut microbiota. Nuts reduce oxidative stress; their active substances, including glansreginin A, proanthocyanidins, quercetin, and nut oil, have significant anti‐inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they comprise complex mixtures, which synergistically induce beneficial changes in the intestinal microbial community.

“…Nut spread has also been formulated with pistachio, which constitutes an excellent alternative to increase its added value [ 136 ]. In the same line, pistachio has been used as a predominant ingredient in the formulation of cereal bars, which is very well accepted by consumers [ 137 ].…”

Why Should Pistachio Be a Regular Food in Our Diet?

The pistachio is regarded as a relevant source of biologically active components that, compared to other nuts, possess a healthier nutritional profile with low-fat content composed mainly of monounsaturated fatty acids, a high source of vegetable protein and dietary fibre, remarkable content of minerals, especially potassium, and an excellent source of vitamins, such as vitamins C and E. A rich composition in terms of phytochemicals, such as tocopherols, carotenoids, and, importantly, phenolic compounds, makes pistachio a powerful food to explore its involvement in the prevention of prevalent pathologies. Although pistachio has been less explored than other nuts (walnut, almonds, hazelnut, etc.), many studies provide evidence of its beneficial effects on CVD risk factors beyond the lipid-lowering effect. The present review gathers recent data regarding the most beneficial effects of pistachio on lipid and glucose homeostasis, endothelial function, oxidative stress, and inflammation that essentially convey a protective/preventive effect on the onset of pathological conditions, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, CVD, and cancer. Likewise, the influence of pistachio consumption on gut microbiota is reviewed with promising results. However, population nut consumption does not meet current intake recommendations due to the extended belief that they are fattening products, their high cost, or teething problems, among the most critical barriers, which would be solved with more research and information.

“…Tree nuts have become an integral part of different aspects of human life, ranging from nutritional intake and dietary preferences [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ], health [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ], livelihood and economic prosperity [ [9] , [10] , [11] ], and environmental sustainability [ [12] , [13] , [14] ]. Nuts are rich in fats, low in carbohydrates, and serve as excellent source of various nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium [ 4 , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] ]. Nuts also contain protein, dietary fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, flavonoids, phytochemicals, phytonutrients, and minerals [ 1 , 2 , [19] , [20] , [21] ].…”
