Oct 07, 2025 2:01 pm
Hello ,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to share a quick comparison of the nutritional profiles of peanuts and pistachios, based on a 1-ounce serving of dry-roasted, unsalted varieties for each.
Depending on the source of the nuts, these may vary a bit; always read the label.
Peanuts (1 oz):
- Calories: 180
- Protein: 7 grams
- Fat: 14 grams
- Carbohydrates: 5 grams
- Fiber: 5 grams
Pistachios (1 oz):
- Calories: 170
- Protein: 6 grams
- Fat: 14 grams
- Carbohydrates: 9 grams
- Fiber: 3 grams
Key Observations:
- Calories: Peanuts have slightly more calories than pistachios
- Protein: Peanuts offer a bit more protein, making them a slightly better choice for protein needs.
- Fat: Both are rich in healthy fats.
- Carbohydrates: Pistachios have more carbs, which may provide a bit more energy.
Both nuts are nutrient-dense and make excellent healthy snacks, with peanuts offering a slight edge in protein. Depending on your dietary goals, either could be a great choice!
Let me know if you’d like more details or recipe ideas incorporating these nuts.
What's one big win (health and wellness) you want to celebrate by the end of the year?
To your health and well-being,
Jessy.
