What is Almond?

The top source of Vitamin E, a nut with excellent antioxidant and moisturizing properties

A handful (about 23 almonds) provides 37% of the daily recommended Vitamin E. Contributes to UV damage defense.

Characteristics & nutrition facts

Almonds are a nut rich in vitamin E (tocopherol), a fat-soluble antioxidant that is known to protect lipids in cell membranes from oxidative stress. They also contain unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fiber, and magnesium, making them a well-rounded snack option. A single handful (approximately 23 almonds) is reported to provide a substantial portion of the daily recommended intake of vitamin E.

How to manage

Consuming about one handful per day of unsalted, unsweetened almonds is recommended, and it is advisable to avoid excessive intake as they are relatively high in calories. Raw almonds or lightly roasted varieties tend to preserve more of their nutritional content. If you have a nut allergy or experience recurring skin reactions, consulting a dermatologist or other healthcare professional before consuming is recommended.

Good to know alongside

Almonds are frequently mentioned alongside antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin E and selenium, as well as other nuts like walnuts and macadamia nuts, in the context of dietary management.

Everyday care tips

Eating almonds with the skin on allows you to also take in polyphenols, so enjoying them as whole almonds is a good choice.
