Almonds are the edible kernels of the almond tree, Prunus dulcis, and the figures here describe whole kernels. They mainly provide fat, protein and fibre, with 50g of fat, 21g of protein and 13g of fibre per 100g. They also provide vitamin E, at 26mg per 100g, alongside minerals including calcium and magnesium.
Most of the fat in almonds is unsaturated. Fat contributes to their energy content, which is worth noting for people monitoring energy intake. Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Almonds are tree nuts and can cause allergic reactions in susceptible people. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
