Nuts are not only a delicious snack, they are very nutritious and healthy for you. Almonds are a prime example of a good snack for you as they are a great source of Vitamin E. Providing 25 grams of vitamin E, it provides 70% of the recommended daily allowance. They also have good amounts of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, fiber and are a good source of healthy monounsaturated fat. Almonds also contain more calcium than any other nut. With reasons, like that, why not put down the bag of Doritos and grab a handful of almonds today! Almonds are also delicious when used for baking.
