Research, particularly U.S., suggests that the kernel has cardioprotective properties, this part of a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fatty acids.
The U.S. is the largest consumer and producer of almonds.
This cardioprotection, which may seem contradictory for an oleaginous fruit, can be explained by their high monounsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol in their poverty, but also by the high content of almonds vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant (anti-aging somehow): 240 mg/100 g
Be careful though, almonds are more calories (575 kcal per 100 g).
They are also deemed very satiating and people regularly consuming spontaneously tend to balance their food intake.
This also explains their importance in vegetarian diets.
You should also add the almonds are high in fiber but also minerals (2.7 g per 100 g): calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, iron, potassium, zinc, folic acid ...
Another property of the kernel, unusual for a fruit, is its high protein: 19 g per 100 g, almost as much as meat. A 30g serving of almonds provides as much protein than yogurt or 150 ml of milk.
Almonds can be consumed chopped, crushed, sliced or whole.
For example as an aperitif, with coffee in pastries, in a salad, instead of croutons in a salad or soup, to sprinkle vegetables, pasta, etc..
