* Why You Should Eat Pistachio Nuts!

While Jeff Eats is working on finding us another delicious “greasy spoon” to eat-at… printed below is an article “What Are the Benefits of Eating Pistachio Nuts” which I recently read on Healthy Eating (healthyeating.sfgate.com).

Just for the record, Jeff Eats has been a huge fan of pistachio nuts-for like forever…I absolutely love the little suckers. Being a pistachio-expert- if you are smart, never buy “unshelled” nuts-the reason, you’ll eat so many of them- that you’ll end up looking like a big house–waste some time opening the nuts with your fingers or teeth and you’ll eat less of them-of course you may have to see a dentist, but in life, nothing comes easy. Jeff Eats usually catches his pistachio nuts at Costco or Publix-figure something like 9 bucks a pound. Lastly, if anyone can explain to me- why way back as a kid-“we” had to “eat” pistachio nuts covered in red dye which ended up all over our fingers and mouths–write Jeff Eats at devon3746@aol.com. By the way, I know that red dye was used for cosmetic reasons…but jeffeats.com likes to think of itself as an “interactive playground” so play away…

Anyway,

Enough stalling. here’s that article and Jeff Eats will have like I said before -a real nice greasy spoon to tell you about in a day or so…

Pistachios make for a healthy snack.

Nuts are a popular snack and an ingredient in both sweet treats and main dishes. If you like to eat nuts, pistachios are one of the healthier options. They are filled with essential nutrients and have a number of health benefits, helping you to control your body weight and lowering your risk for heart problems.

Nutrition

Pistachios contain fewer calories and more potassium and vitamin K per serving than other nuts. A 1-ounce serving of dry-roasted pistachios contains 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 15 grams of fat, including only 2 grams of saturated fat. It also provides you with 25 percent of the daily value for vitamin B-6, 15 percent of the daily value for thiamine and phosphorus and 10 percent of the daily value for magnesium.

Heart Health

Snacking on pistachios may help lower your cholesterol. Study participants who consumed a low-calorie diet with either 10 percent of their total calories or 20 percent of their total calories in the form of pistachios for four weeks lowered their cholesterol more than participants who followed the Step 1 diet for lowering cholesterol, according to a study published in the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” in September 2008. Pistachios also contain l-arginine, which can make the lining of your arteries more flexible and make it less likely you will develop blood clots that could cause a heart attack, and vitamin E, which makes it less likely your arteries will become clogged with plaque, notes MayoClinic.com.

Weight Management

If you like snacking on nuts, you can control your weight by limiting your portions. The fiber content of the nuts may make them more filling, helping you to eat fewer calories later on in the day. A study published in the “Journal of the American College of Nutrition” in June 2010 found that participants who consumed 240 calories worth of pistachios for 12 weeks lowered their body mass indexes and triglyceride levels more than those who consumed 220 calories worth of pretzels.

Considerations

Although most of the fat in pistachios is the healthy unsaturated type, they still contain a lot of calories so you should only eat them in moderation. A study published in 2011 in “Appetite” found that participants ate fewer pistachios if they ate those that were still in the shells instead of shelled pistachios. If you like to snack on pistachios, this can prevent you from eating too many. Choose pistachios that are unsalted to help minimize your salt intake.

***** Tower Deli & Diner, 2315 South University Drive,q Davie, Florida 33324, (954) 452-8202.

For our purposes Jeff Eats is gonna call the Tower Deli & Diner- an “out of sight, out of mind” joint. The truth be told, I first told you guys about this terrific breakfast/lunch deli-diner which is open 365 days a year (6:30am-3pm) way-back on November 29, 2006 and hadn’t been back since- that is until yesterday, when Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did lunch there! For you guys who maybe wondering why such a long hiatus- Jeff Eats is kinda thinking, Jeff Eats’ Boca lair is more than just a hop, skip and a jump- from Tower Deli & Diner’s Davie address!

Anyway, real simple tale to tell you guys, the Tower Deli & Diner serves-up absolutely delicious reasonably priced food. Big, big, big mistake on Jeff Eats’ part- to have “forgotten” about this “mom & pop” deli-diner joint!

Like Jeff Eats said a few seconds ago, delicious reasonably priced food!

You can check towerdeli.com for menu/prices.

Jeff Eats’ November 29, 2006 Tower Deli & Diner “story” is down-below!

Posted November 29, 2006
***** Tower Deli & Diner
2315 South University Drive
Davie, Florida 33324
(954) 452-8202

Tower Deli & Diner is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, 6:30am-3pm.

The next time that you are in Davie keep this joint in mind. Diner Menu. Diner Food. Diner Service. Diner Prices.

Tower Deli & Diner is a great place for a big-breakfast or when you crave a “nice” greasy (in the positive sense) cheeseburger with french fries loaded with ketchup. This joint has some awesome home-made baked goods and literally has “something” for everyone. Tower Deli & Diner is one of the best diners in South Florida.

If this joint was by-my-house, I would be spending a whole lot of time eating there. This is “one” that you want to keep on the radar screen.
