Nutritional values
Pistachios are particularly rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, which have a positive effect on blood lipid levels. The decorative looking pink pepper berries are an effective remedy for colds due to their essential oils. They can kill bacteria and inhibit inflammation.
If you like, you can replace the spelt flour with whole spelt flour - this gives the little cookies even more fiber.
