Almonds are the richest source of calcium out of the nut family. They are also a rich source of Vitamin E and protein. Almonds can be added to food whole or crushed to a powder form and sprinkled onto food for that extra nutty, nutritious flavour. A handful of almonds per day is a perfect way to maintain health and due to their fat content, is a substantial amount for those who may need to watch their fat intake.
