16) Pistachios

As noted above, nuts and seeds are good snack options in this low-carbohydrate diet. They reduce cardiovascular risk and contain healthy fats with anti-inflammatory substances. But pistachios deserve a special place because they are associated with a more significant blood pressure reduction than other nuts and seeds. Pistachios are also beneficial for your immune system, eyes, and skin health.
Most people would eat pistachios as a snack, but there are some recipes you can also try. If you cut them into smaller pieces, you can add pistachios to your salad. There’s a recipe for spinach rolls with pistachios and ricotta cheese. You can even prepare a soup based on pistachios.
