Almond

Almonds are a naturally high source of minerals and vitamins that provide a steady release of energy owing to the high levels of protein. Almonds can be eaten raw as a snack or used in many forms of cooking and as a component of butter spreads, cookies and cereals. Almonds are also processed to make a milk substitute for those with a dairy allergy and flour as a gluten free alternative to wheat. Its moisturising properties have made almond oil an ideal ingredient for many beauty products.
