Almonds, weighed with shells

Almonds are nuts, and this entry describes almonds weighed with their shells. The nutrient figures are based on the weight including the shells, rather than the edible kernels alone. Per 100g weighed this way, almonds provide 19g of fat, 7.8g of protein, 4.6g of fibre and 9.5mg of vitamin E.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Fat contributes to energy intake, which is worth noting for people monitoring their energy intake. These figures should not be compared directly with values for shelled almonds. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
