Almonds are a feel-good and good-for-you food
An ounce of almonds — about 24 nuts — can help you reach your daily vitamin E goal of 15 mg alpha-tocopherol.
Munching on almonds is a beneficial way to spend calories and fat. They offer an array of nutrients the body needs for peak function. At 164 calories per ounce - about the same number as 12 ounces of soda or one and a half ounces of pretzels, and approximately 50 calories less than a typical small order of fast food French fries - almonds fit the bill as a snack or meal ingredient that delivers a great package of nutrients.
