THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains about 598 kcal per 100 g, so repeated handfuls can contribute substantial energy.
  • Almond is a major tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; cross-contact also matters.
  • Whole dry-roasted almonds are hard choking hazards for young children and require an age-appropriate form.
  • The high unsaturated-fat content can oxidise during storage; store cool and airtight and discard nuts with rancid flavours or odours.
  • Dry-roasted, oil-roasted, raw, salted and flavoured almonds are distinct products; a specific package label supersedes this generic profile.
