What to know about Bolas Dry Roasted Salted Pistachios
Two ingredients, 21 g protein and 571 kcal
Bolas Dry Roasted Salted Pistachios are California pistachios, dry roasted and finished with iodised salt. Those are the only two ingredients on the label, and the pistachio share is not declared. They are sold as an easy snack for a work desk, movie night or a hosting bowl, in a 100 g resealable pouch.
A 50 g serve, which is half the pack, gives about 286 kcal, 10.7 g protein and 5.2 g fibre, with 190 mg sodium. Per 100 g the nuts have 571 kcal, 21.3 g protein, 10.3 g fibre and 46.43 g fat, of which 5.37 g is saturated. Sugar is 7.14 g per 100 g, none of it added, and sodium is 380 mg.
The pack says roasted, not fried, and the list backs that up: no oil is listed. Protein rich and fibre rich are both true on the numbers. What the pack does not stress is energy, because nuts are compact in calories and the pack is easy to finish. CleanPlate scores it BA4.

- Zinc
- Energy
- 571 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why B
Protein is 21.3 g per 100 g and fibre is 10.3 g, and the protein comes almost entirely from the pistachios themselves. In a 50 g serve that is 10.7 g protein and 5.2 g fibre.
Zinc is the one mineral declared, at 2.3 mg per 100 g, and it adds a small bonus to the grade.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is two items: pistachios and iodised salt. There are no additives, no added oil, no added sugar and no hollow label promise, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The pistachio share is not declared, but with only salt alongside it the list is as clear as it can be.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest driver: 571 kcal per 100 g, about 286 kcal in a 50 g serve. Sodium at 380 mg per 100 g comes next, then saturated fat at 5.37 g per 100 g, just above the 5 g high line.
Sugar plays no part, since added sugar is 0 g, and trans fat is declared as 0 g. The risk grade lands on a 4 mainly because the food is so calorie-dense.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
