Natural Almonds, 1 lb bag
• Natural, Unblanched Almonds
• Rich in Dietary Fiber and Calcium
• Excellent Source of Vitamin E and Magnesium
Our California
unblanched Almonds are delicious and nutritious. Almonds have more dietary
fiber and calcium than any other nut. Almonds are also an excellent source of
Vitamin E and Magnesium. They are a source of dietary fiber, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus,
Iodine, Zinc, Copper and Potassium plus 18 of the 20 amino acids needed for healthy
growth.
 Almonds
are a great source of monounsaturated fat, which lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol
and raises "good" HDL cholesterol. Almonds are even lower in saturated fat than
olive oil, and one study in California found them more effective in reducing cholesterol.
Almonds also build strong bones: They contain more calcium than any other nut,
and they are high in the trace mineral Boron, which may help regulate Calcium
metabolism. Almonds are rich in protein and fiber, and they have cancer-fighting
protease inhibitors.
* The mandatory California Almond Pasteurization program requires all almonds to be pasteurized before retail sale. There are different pasteurization processes approved. Our Almonds are pasteurized using the steam process. These treatments are surface treatmetns only. Short bursts of steam do not impact the nutritional integrity of the almond. These treatments do not cook proteins or destroy vitamins and minerals. The nutritional and sensory characteristics of the almond remain unchanged when treated with steam.
According to the FDA "Scientific evidence suggests
but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as Almonds,
as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of
heart disease". Almonds are the king of the nut family and taste great.
They are the only alkaline nut, all other nuts are acid forming in the body.
"...especially almonds are good and if an almond is taken each day, and
kept up, you'll never have accumulations of ... such conditions through the body.
An almond a day is much more in accord with keeping the doctor away, especially
certain types of doctors, than apples." Edgar Cayce (3180-3)
"The
almond carries more phosphorus AND iron in a combination easily assimilated than
any other nut." Edgar Cayce (1131-2)
Almonds can be soaked in water for
4-8 hours to help soften for easy digestion. Supplement
