We all know comfort food makes us feel better—but what if your pasta actually helped your mood, scientifically speaking?

Turns out, pistachios are a natural serotonin booster. These little green gems are rich in tryptophan, an amino acid that helps your body produce serotonin—a chemical often called the “happiness hormone.”

Translation? Pistachios don’t just taste amazing. They’re brain food too.

🧠 The Science (Lightly Roasted)

Serotonin plays a key role in regulating:

• Mood
• Sleep
• Memory
• Appetite

While your body makes serotonin naturally, it needs tryptophan-rich foods to do it. Pistachios happen to be one of the best plant-based sources out there.

So when we blend them into our creamy pesto with real Parmesan and olive oil, we’re not just making a sauce—we’re making a mood-lifting masterpiece.
