Nut Basket California Almonds 200g

Almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree, typically oval in shape and encased in a hard, woody shell. The almond kernel has a light brown skin and a creamy white interior. Almonds have a slightly sweet, nutty flavor with a crunchy texture when raw, though they can be roasted or processed into almond butter, milk, or flour.

Nutritionally, almonds are a powerhouse, rich in healthy fats (particularly monounsaturated fats), protein, fiber, and important nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, and antioxidants. They are often enjoyed as snacks, in trail mixes, or added to dishes like salads, baked goods, and desserts.

Health benefits of almonds include supporting heart health, aiding in blood sugar control, promoting weight management, and providing antioxidants that can protect against oxidative stress. They are also a great plant-based source of protein.
