About Nuts, almonds
Raw almonds are an energy-dense tree nut providing 579 calories per 100 grams, with fat as the primary component at 49.9 grams. That fat is overwhelmingly monounsaturated at 31.6 grams and low in saturated fat at 3.8 grams. Protein is high at 21.2 grams, and dietary fiber is exceptional at 12.5 grams, the greatest among the almond preparations because the whole nut and skin remain intact. Sodium is essentially absent at 1 milligram. The nut is one of the richest food sources of vitamin E at 25.6 milligrams, and it delivers 270 milligrams of magnesium, 733 milligrams of potassium and substantial calcium. This unprocessed form serves as the baseline against which roasted and blanched versions are compared.
