GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind almonds, oil roasted, lightly 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 21.2 g protein and 10.5 g fibre per 100 g.
Provides 26.0 mg alpha-tocopherol vitamin E per 100 g.
Provides 291 mg calcium, 274 mg magnesium, 466 mg phosphorus and 699 mg potassium per 100 g.
At 143 mg sodium per 100 g, this USDA reference contains less sodium than its fully salted oil-roasted almond profile at 339 mg per 100 g.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

Contains 607 kcal and 55.2 g fat per 100 g, so “lightly salted” does not mean low calorie or low fat.
Contains 143 mg sodium, equivalent to about 0.358 g salt per 100 g; the unsalted USDA oil-roasted profile contains only 1 mg sodium.
Oil roasting adds oil and can produce a different fatty-acid profile from dry-roasted or unroasted almonds.
Almond is a major tree-nut allergen and can cause severe reactions; cross-contact also matters.
Whole nuts and nut pieces are choking hazards for young children; follow age-appropriate preparation guidance.
“Lightly salted” products can differ by manufacturer, and roasting oils also vary; check the current package label.
