Almonds are the seed from fruit grown on an almond tree. They’re an excellent source of antioxidants and very beneficial for heart and bone health and weight management. Almonds are packed with nutrients and contain vitamin E, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, riboflavin, and fiber. Almonds are rich in vitamin E, which helps to detoxify the skin, prevent fine lines and wrinkles. They are the only alkaline-forming nut, and they contain more vitamin E than any other nut. They are rich in potassium and low in sodium, which helps regulate blood pressure. They are also beneficial to preventing osteoporosis because they are a good source of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus that helps build strong bones.
