Im not really to sure I know they are really high in fat which is always a bad thing. But so is a peanut and sunflower seed, I will have a good read up on them and let you know if I can.

It shouldn't be any worse than a monkey nut as they contain 2 peanuts which works out a lot more fat than 1 pistachio .

Great find Skauwt. I found that link pretty interesting actually is crazy how fatty Pistachios are. But how they have a very low amount of calories |

From Wiki: 'Peanuts are also known as earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts, and monkey nuts. (The last of these is often used to mean the entire pod.)'
Now I never knew that... good question redfeather ;D
