What to know about pistachios
Pistachios look like a safe snack nut, but they are one of the few nuts Monash rates high FODMAP: even a small handful is high in galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), the same bean-family carbohydrate that causes gas and bloating. On top of that they run high in oxalate, high in salicylates and high in nickel, so pistachios trip more trigger wires than almost any other nut.
Watch for
- High in GOS, so a normal handful can bloat and gas a sensitive gut even though most nuts are low FODMAP
- High in oxalate, which matters if you form kidney stones or are keeping oxalate low
- High in salicylates, a common trigger for people who react to aspirin or salicylate-rich foods
- High in nickel, so they are worth watching if you have systemic nickel allergy (SNAS)
