Almonds are healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almonds are much more than a snack or a Christmas baking ingredient. Almonds have always been an important staple food<\/a> in Ikaria and they are an essential part of a balanced Blue Zone<\/a> diet, rich in vitamins (B and E), minerals (magnesium, calcium, copper) and unsaturated fats. Almonds are easy to store. According to current studies, just a handful a day protects against diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol levels and, I have read, even leads to an improvement in bone density.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray.<\/p>\n
