People often shy away from the fat content of nuts but the fat in nuts is the kind your body needs. They are essential to your brain's proper functioning, for healthy skin and a plethora of the body's functions. Having a high quality fat in your meal also discourages overeating as fat triggers satiety (low fat foods do the opposite - you often still feel hungry). These high quality monounsaturated fats are also excellent for heart health and lowering LDL (bad cholesterol).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmonds have more vitamin E than any other nut - a rich antioxidant that helps eliminate toxins from the body and boosts the body's defences against illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing high in tryptophan, fatty acids, B vitamins and magnesium make them a great combination of nutrients in support of an anti-depressive diet.

It reported an almost 80% decrease in volume this year. The last time this was seen was in 2017, which was a 50% decrease in yield. This decrease is devastating to the communities that rely on them, for food and also for the money that goes back into the community from the sale of them. The decrease is caused by both a drought through much of South America, which is a result of El Nino and massive forest fires that are some of the worst ever seen. It has also led to some inconsistency in flavour as well.

People often shy away from the fat content of nuts but the fat in nuts is the kind your body needs. They are essential to your brain's proper functioning, for healthy skin and a plethora of the body's functions. Having a high quality fat in your meal also discourages overeating as fat triggers satiety (low fat foods do the opposite - you often still feel hungry).

Almonds are a '0' on the glycemic index making them an excellent snack for those struggling with blood-sugar fluctuations and diabetes.  In addition their high potassium and low sodium combination is great for people struggling with high blood pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nutritional value of almonds was recognized long before individual nutrients were discovered. Texts from thousands of years ago show almond recipes for the infirmed and some texts referred to them for curing headaches, counteracting phlegm and relieving colds and dry coughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmond skin contains more than 20 antioxidant flavonoids. 1 ounce of almonds contains 163 calories, 14g of fats and 4g of fibre. People often shy away from the fat content of nuts but the fat in nuts is the kind your body needs. They are essential to your brain's proper functioning, for healthy skin and a plethora of the body's functions. Having a high quality fat in your meal also discourages overeating as fat triggers satiety ( low fat foods do the opposite - you often still feel hungry). These high quality monounsaturated fats are also excellent for heart health and lowering LDL (bad cholesterol).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmonds have more vitamin E than any other nut - a rich antioxidant that helps eliminate toxins from the body and boosts the body's defences against illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing high in tryptophan, fatty acids, B vitamins and magnesium make them a great combination of nutrients in support of an anti-depressive diet. These same nutrients and l-carnitine have been shown to help prevent Alzheimer's and help kids with ADHD and other brain related health challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmonds' high fibre content is excellent for intestinal health - cleaning the colon as it passes through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmonds are a '0' on the glycemic index making them an excellent snack for those struggling with blood-sugar fluctuations and diabetes. In addition, their high potassium and low sodium combination is great for people struggling with high blood pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, almonds are a great source of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium for strong bones and teeth! 3 oz of almonds have 210 mg of calcium (compared to 3 oz of cow's milk = 113 mg of calcium). These nutrients are known to be essential later in life but remember growing kids are developing their skeletal structure so its important to ensure they are getting what they need as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional methodologies use almonds in the relief of stagnant qi energy, find them useful in building ojas and to alkalize the blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"almond-information\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGeneral and Historical Information About Almonds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite our common categorization of almonds as nuts, they are actually seeds. This is in part defined by the fact that the shell opens while on the tree whereas a \"real\" nut won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those lucky enough to be able to grown almonds (Canadian climates have yet to support this, though let us know if you find a farmer who has succeeded!), the green fruit of an immature almond can be eaten - even the shell at this stage can be eaten!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the middle ages almonds were a sign of wealth and were often quoted in value as part of ones coffers.
