Raw Almonds Vs. Roasted Almonds
Almonds are a reliable source of essential vitamins and minerals.
They give you protein, healthy fat and quick energy, making them a convenient snack food for active people. People often offer roasted almonds on snack trays, but raw almonds have some advantages over roasted almonds.
Calories, Protein and Fiber
Almonds, either raw or roasted, are a reliable source of quick energy. Each 1/2-cup serving has 411 calories and about 15 grams of protein, but raw almonds are richer in fiber, with 9 grams of fiber per serving, compared to 7.5 grams of fiber in roasted almonds.
Almonds, whether raw or roasted, provide more than 100 percent of your recommended daily intake for the antioxidant vitamin E, as well as two-thirds of the riboflavin and about 17 percent of the niacin you need each day.
Raw almonds have three times as much thiamin as roasted almonds, however.
A 1/2-cup serving provides about 14 percent of your daily requirement for that B-complex vitamin, while the same serving size of roasted almonds has about 5 percent. Niacin, riboflavin and thiamin help your body convert food to energy, benefiting your metabolism.
Almonds are rich in bone-strengthening and muscle-building minerals. A 1/2-cup of almonds, either raw or roasted, provides 60 percent of your recommended daily intake for magnesium and 20 percent of the calcium you need each day. Raw almonds are slightly higher in phosphorus, providing half your daily requirement for that mineral, while the same serving size of roasted almonds gives you 46 percent. A 1/2-cup serving of either type of almond provides a man with 33 percent of the iron and 20 percent of the zinc he needs daily. It gives a woman 15 percent of the iron and 28 percent of the zinc she should get each day.
Although almonds are cholesterol-free, roasted almonds are slightly higher in saturated fat than raw almonds. Each 1/2-cup serving of either type has about 35 grams of fat. Each gram of fat provides nine calories, which contribute to almonds' high caloric content. Most of the fat in almonds is from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which do not increase your risk of heart problems. A serving of raw almonds has 30.7 grams of these healthy lipids and a serving of roasted almonds has 31.3 grams. They do contain some saturated fat, however. Roasted almonds have 2.8 grams of saturated fat per 1/2-cup, while raw almonds have 2.7 grams.
