How many almonds a day is a sensible serving?

A small handful of about 28 g, which is roughly 23 whole kernels, is a commonly quoted daily serving. Many people eat fewer, such as 5 to 10 soaked kernels in the morning, and the right number depends on your total diet, activity and goals. There is no single number that suits everyone. (Serving size as commonly quoted; check your own needs with a doctor or dietitian.)

Almonds are dense in energy: the almond page on Wikipedia gives about 579 kcal, 49.9 g fat, 21.2 g protein and 12 g fibre per 100 g. Because of this, a handful adds up quickly if you eat it on top of your usual meals. (Source: Wikipedia, Almond.)

What is an almond?

The almond is the edible seed of the fruit of Prunus dulcis. Botanically the fruit is a drupe and the seed is not a true nut, although it is sold and used as a nut. (Source: Wikipedia, Almond.) Raw almonds have a brown skin and a pale interior and taste mildly sweet and buttery.

Soaked, raw or roasted

Many households soak almonds overnight, peel the skin and eat them in the morning. This softens the texture and some people prefer the taste. Others eat them raw, roasted or in sweets and milk. This page does not claim that one form is nutritionally better; choose the form you like and will eat regularly.

Blanched almonds, which have had the skin removed after a hot-water treatment, are common in cooking. (Source: Wikipedia, Almond.)

Cautions: allergy, portions, flavoured nuts

• Almonds are a tree nut. Anyone with a nut allergy should avoid them.
• Eating much more than a serving adds a lot of energy and fibre, and some people find large amounts uncomfortable.
• Salted or flavoured almonds carry added salt or sugar; check the label.
• Whole almonds are a choking hazard for small children.

How to choose and store almonds

Look for whole, evenly coloured kernels with no musty or bitter smell, and read the best-before date. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from sunlight. Once processed, almonds can keep for around a year if refrigerated, and go rancid sooner at higher temperatures. (Source: Wikipedia, Almond.)
