Gift Sponsor

Almond Board of Australia

Research tells us that almonds are a healthy choice. Almonds contain "good" monounsaturated fat ‐ also found in olive oil and avocados. Studies show that diets which replace saturated fat with monounsaturated fat, are beneficial for heart health. Almonds also contain phytosterols, which are plant compounds that help support heart health. Almonds are extremely high in Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, this means that it protects our cells from damage, helping to maintain a healthy heart and blood vessels. Vitamin E also works best in foods that contain some good dietary fat, like almonds, to help its absorption. Just a small handful of almonds (30g) provides over half your daily vitamin E requirements. Almonds really are a natural Vitamin E powerhouse!
