About Almond
Higher in fat and protein; a good nut comparison reference.
Health Benefits of Almond
A top source of vitamin E
Almonds hold more vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) than most nuts, a powerful antioxidant per 100g. Vitamin E supports skin health and cell membranes, and a small handful covers the daily recommendation.
High in both protein and fibre
100g of almonds packs 21.1g protein and 12.4g fibre, leading among nuts in both. Studies link moderate almond intake to better satiety and slower post-meal blood-sugar rise.
A small handful a day is enough
Almonds are calorie-dense (578 kcal/100g). Keep to about 20-30g (20-23 nuts) a day as a mid-morning or afternoon snack. Choose plain, unsalted roasted; skip sugar- or salt-coated versions for the most nutrition.
