Pistachios and rose water are a beautiful classic duo that makes an appearance in many Middle
Eastern desserts. These wonderful flavors combine perfectly in this recipe, which is super easy to make but will delight both your palate and your eyes!
ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS / Rose water is really good both used externally in your beauty routine (for example as a toner) or internally in your food and drinks. It hydrates the skin from the inside out, leaving it looking plump and healthy. It has anti-aging properties, to help with skin aging by reducing wrinkles, lightening dark spots and tightening pores and works as a mood enhancer, to relieve depression or stress.
Pistachio nuts are not only tasty to eat but also super healthy, they contain healthy fats and are a good source of protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They also contain an incredible amount of vitamin B6, whose properties support healthy brain development and immune and nervous system functions.
