THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 607 kcal and 55.2 g fat per 100 g, so eating directly from a large container can make portions easy to underestimate.
  • Contains 339 mg sodium, equivalent to about 0.848 g salt per 100 g; the unsalted oil-roasted variant contains much less sodium.
  • 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.
  • Roasting oils and salt levels vary by manufacturer, and opened almonds can turn rancid; check the package and store cool and airtight.
