Almonds

Almond is a nut rich in antioxidants, proteins, and fiber. It contains low sugar and fat; therefore, it is useful for the health of the teeth and for people who want to reduce their weight. It can be used as a healthy snack, in chocolates and sweets, and in some main dishes. It improves skin and heart health, and immune and digestive systems performance.

Although packaged almonds are available year-round, they are the freshest in mid-summer, which is when they are at the height of their season.
