Whole Almonds 1000g (2x 500g)

Almonds are the seeds of almond tree fruits, which grow in about 30 different varieties. 8 out of 10 almonds come from farms in sunny California, where the climatic conditions are ideal for growing almond trees. Almonds belong to the same family as cherries, peaches, and mangoes. They are rich in nutrients. They contain vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber, thus having health-promoting effects. They have a high content of healthy unsaturated fats. Unsaturated fats do not increase the risk of developing "bad" cholesterol in the blood. Furthermore, regular consumption of almonds is believed to lower overall cholesterol levels. Almonds are rich in vitamin E, a known antioxidant, a substance that halts oxidation processes, thereby clearing veins and counteracting heart diseases as well as slowing down cell aging. Almonds are thought to contribute to maintaining healthy bones due to their content of calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, vitamin K, protein, and zinc.
