GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind almonds, dry roasted, salted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

  • Provides 21.0 g protein and 10.9 g fibre per 100 g, so a measured portion can be more filling than many refined salty snacks.
  • Provides 23.9 mg vitamin E per 100 g together with substantial magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and potassium.
  • Most of the 52.5 g total fat is unsaturated, while dry roasting avoids the extra coating oil used in oil-roasted products.
  • A pre-measured serving can provide portable energy and plant protein when higher energy intake is useful.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 234 mg sodium, equivalent to about 0.59 g salt per 100 g, whereas raw unsalted almonds contain almost none.
  • Contains about 598 kcal per 100 g, so frequent handfuls can add substantial energy.
  • Almond is a tree-nut allergen and can cause severe allergic reactions; cross-contact also matters.
  • Whole roasted almonds are hard choking hazards for young children and require an age-appropriate form.
  • Salt level and seasonings vary between brands, so the current package label should replace this generic profile for a specific branded product.
