Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E which is a powerful antioxidant. They are also rich in monosaturated fat, one of the two "good" fats responsible for lowering "LDL cholesterol".As almonds are high in protein, around 18 percent, and contain virtually no carbohydrates, they are ideal for diabetics, pre-diabetics or anyone with blood sugar issues.Roasted almonds are a great accompaniment to tea/coffee. They go great with some cool cocktails too.
