Almonds

Large shelled almonds

Almonds contain the proteins, fats and carbohydrates that the body needs. High in phosphorus, almonds help keep teeth and bones healthy. Almonds are rich in fibre and therefore good for digestion. By eating around 20 almonds a day, you will get a third of your body’s daily requirement of vitamin E and a whole day’s B vitamin.
