The short answer

The exact identity, preparation and amount determine how information about Pistachios applies. Traditional context and practitioner experience are presented separately from modern research. Pistachios can cause severe allergic reactions in people with tree-nut allergy, and cross-contact is possible. Check sodium on salted products and store nuts cool and airtight to slow rancidity.
