Roasted almonds are a rich source of essential nutrients. They provide a healthy dose of protein, dietary fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. This nutrient profile makes them an ideal choice for a quick, energy-boosting snack that can keep you satiated throughout the day.
How many roasted almonds should I eat a day?
When compared ounce for ounce, almonds are the tree nut highest in protein, fiber, calcium, vitamin E, riboflavin and niacin. Just remember 1-2-3. 1 ounce of almonds, or about 23 almond nuts, is the ideal daily portion recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
At room temperature, raw or roasted nuts should be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place. But it is also very common to place them in the fridge or freeze them if you know you won't be consuming them right away.
Why do almonds need to be refrigerated?
Keep Cool & Chilled In The Fridge Or Freezer: They'll last about 3-4 months in any cool, dark space like a pantry, but they'll last much longer- 6+ months in the fridge and even more in the freezer. This can slow down deterioration of the nuts so they won't spoil
Storage: Store in an airtight container or sealed bag in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate after opening for longer storage and to maintain best quality.
Shelf Life: Almonds will keep at top quality in the pantry for six months. After opening, you may wish to store them tightly sealed in the refrigerator to preserve the quality for up to six additional months or freeze them.
