Almonds are Good for You Sandra Markcrow
Mar 4, 2013
Almonds have a long history of use dating back as far as 1400 BC in recorded data. It is thought that perhaps they were even consumed by prehistoric cavemen and a source of food for many prehistoric animals. The book, the Bible of Numbers mentions almonds in a passage that describes Aaron’s rod which blossomed and bore almonds. It was believed to be symbolic of God’s divine approval of Aaron. In 100AD, the Romans would shower newly weds with almonds as a ritual to promote fertility. The almond tree is native to the Middle East and South Asia but today grows in many countries around the world. The United States is now the largest producer and exporter of almonds and almond products to the world. This article discusses the nutrient profile of almonds, their proven health benefits and associated side effects.
Nutritional Profile of Almonds
Almonds are a nutrient dense food source. They are packed with health promoting properties. Many people avoid eating any type of nut, fearing weight gain, but the truth about nuts including almonds is that they contain a greater percentage of healthy fats compared to unhealthy fats. A one ounce serving of almonds (approximately 24 almonds) contains 14 grams of fat. Most of this fat is healthy monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. They are also a good source of lean protein, containing 6 grams of protein in a one ounce serving. They are also an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids which are recommended for heart and brain health. From a vitamin perspective they are a rich source of vitamin E and the B complex vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, panthothenic acid, vitamin B6 and folates. From a mineral perspective they contain rich sources of calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, copper, potassium, zinc and selenium. Almonds that are eaten with the skin provide the added benefit of flavonoids which are powerful antioxidants. Additionally they are a good source of fiber containing 6 grams of fiber and 170 calories in a one ounce serving.
