We are constantly fascinated with the many therapeutic values of this simple nut. Here is just a sampling of the natural benefits of almonds:
Cholesterol-Free Protein Almonds are high in protein. One ounce contains 12% of our daily protein needs
Good Fat Although almonds are high in fat, they are very low in saturated fat. Once ounce contains 15g fat, but only 1g is saturated. Most of the fat in almonds is monounsaturated, considered a good fat.
Calcium One ounce of almonds has as much calcium as 1/4 cup of milk.
