Riverside Health Foods Whole Almonds, 200g

200g of Whole Almonds packed in our plant-based compostable packaging.

Whole almonds are the unprocessed seeds of the Prunus dulcis tree, commonly known as the almond tree. They are typically sold with their outer shell removed, leaving the edible nut inside. The nut itself is oval-shaped with a hard, brown, slightly textured skin, and has a sweet, nutty flavour with a firm yet slightly crunchy texture.

Whole almonds are highly nutritious, and packed with healthy fats (particularly monounsaturated fats), protein, fibre, vitamin E, magnesium, and antioxidants. They are known for supporting heart health, improving blood sugar levels, and providing a sustained source of energy. The skin of the almond contains a significant amount of fibre, as well as antioxidants, making whole almonds a particularly wholesome snack option.

These almonds can be eaten raw, roasted, or incorporated into a variety of dishes. They are commonly used in both sweet and savoury recipes, such as in baked goods, granola, trail mixes, salads, and vegetable dishes. Whole almonds are also used to make almond butter, almond milk, or ground into almond meal for gluten-free baking. Because they are more substantial and have a richer flavour than blanched or flaked almonds, whole almonds are a popular choice for snacking or adding crunch to meals.
