Eating nuts and nut butters are a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. While peanuts are arguably the most common nut consumed in the U.S., there are a multitude of other choices that are gaining popularity. Almonds are a fantastic choice that boast great benefits for your health.
Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, the same healthy fats found in olive oil. Monounsaturated fats are linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. Replacing saturated and trans fats with monounsaturated fats may also improve cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Rich in antioxidants, almonds are high in Vitamin E, a super vitamin that is great for the brain, skin, and eyes. Eating just a quarter cup of almonds gives you 35% of your daily amount. Vitamin E is important in preventing oxygen molecules from becoming too reactive in the body.
Studies have shown that eating almonds 3-5 times per week reduces risks for heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. It’s easy to see that almonds have huge health benefits. Almond butter is delicious and is a great way to get all the great benefits.
Nature’s Garden can help you to get a daily serving of almonds with locally produced almond butter from Naturalmond. Their almond butter is slow roasted and seasoned with a touch of sea salt to create a tasty spread for sandwiches or a great addition to dressings and other recipes. Naturalmond produces their almond butter in small batches in their own kitchen, which is a peanut free environment. Simply request almond butter with your produce order and it will be delivered right to your door!
