Pistachios (Raw Shelled) vs. Sesame Seeds (White, Hulled)
Comparing 2 standards across 14 specifications. 14 key differences identified.
Pistachios (Pistacia vera) are nutrient-rich green tree nuts. Per 100g raw, they deliver 560 kcal, 45.3g fats (23.3g MUFA), 20.2g complete protein (all 9 essential amino acids), 27.2g carbohydrates (10.6g fiber / 16.6g net carbs), and high lutein carotenoids.
White sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) have had the outer hull removed, giving a milder flavor and lighter color than whole/unhulled seeds. Per 100g, they provide roughly 570 kcal, 49-50g fat (mostly mono- and polyunsaturated), 17-18g protein, and notably lower calcium than unhulled seeds, since most of the seed's calcium sits in the hull that's been removed.
