Such a fantastic little healthy snack! Perfect for on the go, uni, school & work. Almonds are great to nibble on, and also have many health benefits too :)
I was doing a little research on Almonds, and came across this website:
This is an Australian page created by the Almond Board of Australia, and it is dedicated purely to almonds. It has a bunch of almond recipes on there too! As well as health and nutrition tips. According to this site, the 5 main benefits of almonds are:
1. Almonds are nutritious and good for you
2. Almonds are good for your heart
3. Almonds improve your cholesterol
4. Almonds can be helpful with managing and preventing type 2 diabetes
5. Almonds can be helpful with weight management
Taken directly from this website is the following snippet of information:
What’s in 30 grams of almonds?
- 758kj (the energy of 2 pieces of fruit)
- 6 grams of protein (the protein of one egg)
- 15 grams of healthy monounsaturated oil (like extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1 gram of saturated fat
- 2.6 grams of fibre (2 slices of mixed grain bread)
- 71 mg of calcium (60 ml of milk)
So according to this information, 30g is a good sized 'handful' of almonds to be consumed daily :)
