Almond Nutrition

Almonds do not contain cholesterol and are a good source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which helps to support heart health.

Almonds are low in sodium, and high in energy, fiber (supports the digestive system), magnesium (supports proper electrical activity in the heart and muscles), manganese (supports eyesight, calcium absorption, thyroid health), riboflavin (converts other B vitamins into forms it can use, fights free radicals), iron (supports blood health and energy), and vitamin E (fights aging of cells).

Replacing fatty foods with almonds is a great way to help reduce hunger, support healthy cholesterol levels, and support a a healthy heart. Almonds as part of a plant based diet is an excellent source of protein, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and supports healthy living.

I am all about almond nutrition. Read more about almond benefits and if soaking almonds is the best way to eat your almonds or not.
