Almonds are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals and full of numerous health promoting phytochemicals, the kind of well-balanced food guaranteed to protect against diseases and cancers.
Almonds are a complete source of energy as well as nutrients. Almonds are especially rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic and palmitoleic acids, which help reduce LDL, or "bad cholesterol" and increase HDL, or "good cholesterol". Studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet, which is excellent in monounsaturated fatty acids, helps prevent coronary artery disease and stroke by favoring a healthy blood lipid profile.
Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E; they contain around 25 g per 100 g (around 170% of the RDA). Vitamin E is a powerful lipid soluble antioxidant, necessary for maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane of mucous membranes and skin, protecting against harmful oxygen free radicals.
Almonds are gluten-free and are therefore one of the popular ingredients in the preparation of gluten-free food formulas. Such formula preparations are, in fact, healthy alternatives for people with wheat food allergies and celiac disease.
Almonds are packed with many important groups of B vitamins, such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates. Together, these vitamins function as co-factors for enzymes during cellular substrate metabolism.
In addition, they are also an incredible source of minerals, such as manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium.
Almond oil is extracted from nuts and used as an emollient. Applied regularly, it helps keep the skin well protected against dryness. In addition, the oil is used in cooking in Iran and Turkey. It is also used as a "carrier or base oil" in traditional aromatherapy medicines, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Nutritional benefits: Although each type of fruit has a specific combination of nutrients, in general, most are a source of vitamins B1, B6, E and folic acid and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and iron, among others. The fat in nuts is predominantly unsaturated, a type of fat that contributes to maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels.
May contain traces of other nuts and soy.
