Almonds

Why should we eat Almonds regularly?


Almonds are a great source of protein (approx. 25%), dietary fibre and unsaturated fats (1). They are also rich in vitamin E, riboflavin, niacin, and magnesium. Research has shown that it is important to include nuts in your regular diet as nut consumption is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (2,3). A simple way to include almonds in your diet is to eat them whole as a snack or chop them up and put them on yoghurt or salad. Grab a handful of Australian Almonds today. YUM!!
