About One handful of almonds
A handful of almonds, approximately 23 nuts, is a nutrient-packed snack originating from the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Almonds are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and fiber, making them a heart-healthy food choice. They provide plant-based protein and essential antioxidants that support skin health and immune function. Additionally, almonds boast a low glycemic index, making them a smart option for steady energy and blood sugar control. Regular consumption has been linked to improved cholesterol levels and weight management due to their satiating properties. While almonds are highly nutritious, they are calorie-dense, with about 160 calories per handful, so portion control is important. Almonds are versatile and commonly used in baking, cooking, and raw recipes across various cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes. They make a convenient snack or can be included in meals for added flavor and nutrition.
