Benefits of Almonds

• Cancer Prevention - Almonds are low in saturated fat and contain many other protective nutrients - calcium and magnesium - for strong bones, vitamin E and compounds called phytochemicals, which may help protect against cardiovascular disease and even cancer.
• Phytochemical Powerhouse
• Reduce Heart Attack Risk
• Lower Cholesterol
• One teeny ounce of almonds contains 12 percent of your daily allowance of protein. And absolutely no cholesterol, of course. You'll also get 35 percent of your daily allowance of vitamin E, that valuable antioxidant with so many cancer-fighting qualities. And most of the fat in almonds is monounsaturated, also known as the "good" fat.
• This little nut is also loaded with minerals like magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, as well as lots of healthy fiber. And don't forget calcium and folic acid - they're in there too!
• 20-25 almonds (approximately one ounce) contain as much calcium as 1/4 cup of milk, a valuable tool in preventing osteoporosis.
• Almonds are the best whole food source of vitamin E, in the form of alpha-tocopherol, which may help prevent cancer.
• If you're pregnant, or thinking about it, almonds are a great source of the folic acid you need!
• Almonds contain more magnesium than oatmeal or even spinach. Are you listening, Popeye?
• Build strong bones and teeth with the phosphorus in almonds.

What are unpasteurised almonds? It is law that if almonds are imported that they have to be pasteurised. This is done by either steam, irradiation, ionization, roasting, blanching, or treating them with propylene oxide (PPO), which is a known carcinogen. Almonds that have been treated this way can still be labelled “raw”. However these treatments can damage the amazing nutrients and oils in almonds, which is the reason to eat them in the first place! These Almonds from By Nature are unpasteurised as they are grown locally and because they are grown here, you also get them much fresher, making them really delicious.
