Almond

Almonds are versatile, nutrient-rich nuts that have been a staple in various cuisines around the world for centuries. They come in two main varieties—sweet and bitter—with sweet almonds being the more common type used for culinary purposes. Almonds are packed with essential nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, vitamins (such as Vitamin E), and minerals like magnesium and calcium. They can be eaten raw, roasted, or used in a variety of forms such as almond butter, almond milk, and almond flour. Almonds are also an excellent source of antioxidants, which contribute to overall health by protecting the body from oxidative stress. They are commonly added to snacks, desserts, salads, and savory dishes, or consumed on their own as a healthy snack. Beyond their culinary uses, almonds are often used in skincare products due to their nourishing properties.
