GarliChips Roasted Almonds 50 grams

Edible almond oil, although less frequently used than almonds, can also provide some health benefits: 

Control blood sugar levels

Studies suggest that oils rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, like almond oil, may help with blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.

Increase antioxidants

Vitamins and antioxidants like those found in almond oil can provide important health benefits. For example, the antioxidant vitamin E helps protect cells from free radicals. Having too many free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which has been linked to some chronic illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart disease, and cardiovascular disease.

 

Is Almond Oil Good for Your Skin?

Almond oil’s moisturizing properties can help soothe your skin and relieve itching. Research suggests that applying almond oil to your skin in the form of a cream can ease symptoms of eczema and dermatitis. Almond oil might also improve the skin’s complexion and tone.

Although we need more research into this, almond oil may help moisturize your hair and scalp. It can help tame frizz and moisturize and heal dry hair. Almond oil may also help relieve symptoms of dry, itchy scalp.

How to Prepare Almond Oil

Almond oil has a mild, nutty taste that can be a delicious addition to many foods.

Unrefined almond oil, which is made by pressing almonds without using heat, works well as a finishing oil that you add to your dish after cooking is done.

For cooking techniques like sautéing and roasting, you can also use refined almond oil. But the exposure to high heat during the refinement process can destroy some of its natural nutrients.
