Natco Almond Seeds -200g

Almonds are high in antioxidants, vitamin E, protein, and fiber. Almonds may have health benefits, including supporting heart health and reducing blood pressure, among others

Almonds are the edible seeds of Prunus dulcis, more commonly called the almond tree.

They are native to the Middle East, but the United States is now the world’s largest producer.

The almonds you can buy in stores usually have the shell removed, revealing the edible nut inside. They are sold either raw or roasted.

They are also used to produce products like almond milk, oil, butter, flour, paste, or marzipan.

Almonds boast an impressive nutrient profile. A 1-ounce (oz), or 28-gram (g), serving of almonds contains (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source):

Fiber: 3.5 g
Protein: 6 g
Fat: 14 g (9 of which are monounsaturated)
Vitamin E: 48% of the daily value (DV)
Manganese: 27% of the DV
Magnesium: 18% of the DV
a decent amount of copper, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and phosphorus
This is all from a small handful of almonds, which has 164 calories and 6 grams of carbohydrates, which includes 3.5 grams of fiber.

It is important to note that your body does not absorb about 6% of the fats in almonds because this fat is inaccessible to digestive enzymes (3Trusted Source).

Almonds are also high in phytic acid, a substance that binds certain minerals and prevents them from being absorbed by the body.

While phytic acid is generally considered a healthy antioxidant, it also slightly reduces the amount of iron, zinc, and calcium your body absorbs from almond
