This Lemon Pistachio butter tastes like earthy heaven and is highly nutritious
Pistachios originate from the Middle East and Asia. They are a good source of protein and are one of the highest sources of Vitamin B6 available. B6 is an important part of forming haemoglobin that is essential to carrying oxygen around the blood. Because they are also full of fibre they also support gut health and aid with weightloss. Pistachios also contain L-argenine which is converted to nitric acid in the body which helps keep blood vessels functioning well.
This nut butter is perfect spread on you favourite toast or as a dip for apple slices or spread on delicious seed crackers.
