Almonds Diced

Description

Almonds are a nutrient-dense food that is naturally high in healthy fats — primarily monounsaturated fats, which help support heart health by maintaining healthy levels of HDL (good) cholesterol while helping to manage LDL (bad) cholesterol.

They are also an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fibre, making them a satisfying and energising snack. In addition, almonds provide a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, calcium, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and B vitamins — particularly biotin (vitamin B7) and folate.
