Roasted almonds (whole)

Description

Roasted almonds (whole) have a golden-brown, crunchy skin and an intense, nutty-sweet flavor with a distinct, pleasantly roasted aromatic note, making them an appealing addition to both sweet and savory dishes. In terms of nutritional value, they are a dense source of monounsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants; regular, moderate consumption may support heart health, appetite control, and lipid profile, although due to their high caloric content, it's important to pay attention to portion sizes and allergy contraindications. In the kitchen, roasted almonds are great as a snack, an addition to salads, muesli, cakes, cookies, and crumbles, as well as a topping for yogurt or an ingredient in spreads and pesto, adding texture and depth of flavor to dishes. They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place; for longer freshness, it's best to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer and protect them from moisture and strong odors.
