Almonds, toasted

Toasted almonds are nuts that have been heated to toast them. They mainly provide fat, protein and fibre, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 53g of fat, 21g of protein, 11g of fibre and 24mg of vitamin E. They also provide calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Most of the fat in almonds is unsaturated. Their high fat content makes them energy-dense, which is worth noting for people monitoring energy intake. Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. The salt content listed here is low, although added salt can change this in packaged products.
