Almond flour 200g

Almonds are the most nutrient-rich type of nuts. A serving (about 20 almonds, which fit in 2 handfuls) is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, a good source of protein and dietary fiber, and provides potassium, phosphorus, iron, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and low levels of saturated fat and no cholesterol. They are also a very good source of calcium: one cup of almonds gives us as much calcium as a small piece of feta cheese!

Almonds are a good source of:

• dietary fiber
• protein
• calcium
• iron
• vitamin E and folic acid
• monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in smaller amounts)
• flavonoids (in the skin)
• phytosterols.
