One of my favorite nuts…a bit more expensive than your average nut but absolutely worth it for National Pistachio Day!

Pistachio Butter
From Nina Savidi of Veggie Wedgie
“Nut butters are a favorite food of mine. Nutritious, delicious and oh-so-filling, they can help you get through the winter, a time when you need more fat in your diet. They can be a great addition to any diet and promote your health and even weight loss! No I am not saying you cat eat a jar of nut butter and not gain weight, but eating the right kind of fats can actually help you lose weight. But I am talking raw, unheated plant-based fats. Roasted peanut butter won’t do either- which I never liked anyway since I don’t like peanuts! There, I said it: I don’t like peanuts!! I hope you still like me. ”
Ingredients:
500gr raw shelled pistachios*
3 tbsp almond oil
pinch of salt
*500gr = 1.10 lbs
