Almonds, flaked and ground

Almonds are nuts, and the figures here describe them in flaked and ground forms. They mainly provide fat and protein, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 56g of fat, 21g of protein and 6.9g of carbohydrate. They also provide 24mg of vitamin E.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin E helps protect cells from damage. Most of the fat in almonds is unsaturated. Their fat content is worth noting for people monitoring energy intake, as fat is a concentrated source of energy. Almonds are also a source of magnesium and calcium.
