Almond King Roasted (Unsalted)

Health Benefits Of Roasted Almonds

1) Heart Health: Almonds are the leading source of monounsaturated fat among America’s most consumed nuts. Of the 14 grams of total fat found in one ounce of almonds, about 64 percent is monounsaturated. This ‘good’ fat plays a role in lowering harmful cholesterol just as effectively as expensive drugs, according to a recent study published by the American Heart Association. A single serving of unsalted almonds is an excellent way to add this protective nutrient to your diet.

2) Rich in Nutrients: A one-and-a-half ounce handful of unsalted roasted almonds is a leading source of vitamin E and magnesium and offers protein, fiber, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant to prevent oxidation of LDL “bad” cholesterol and clogged arteries, while potassium keeps blood pressure in check. Minerals like magnesium and calcium support bone and teeth health. The protein and fiber content of roasted almonds makes them a satisfying snack.

3) Regulate Blood Sugar Levels: High in soluble fiber, roasted almonds can help control blood sugar levels and prevent insulin spikes. A 2007 study published in the journal Metabolism found that participants who consumed almonds with white bread were more effective at controlling blood sugar spikes than those who ate white bread alone. The almonds lowered the glycemic index of the meal, suggesting they may be helpful for diabetes management and control.
