A key element of the Mediterranean diet from time immemorial, the almond has a rich nutritional profile and, like other nuts and dried fruit, is essential to maintaining a healthy diet.<\/p>\n
For example, it has a high fat content (particularly unsaturated fats; in other words, those that benefit cardiovascular health) and is a great source of good-quality plant proteins rich in essential amino acids.<\/p>\n
It has a high calorific value, but this is precisely why it has such great satiating power.<\/p>\n
Its mineral content includes calcium. In fact, it is one of the plant sources that is richest in calcium. Almond milk is often therefore used as a substitute for cow\u2019s milk in cases of intolerance, and its consumption is recommended to strengthen the bones and prevent osteoporosis. This is partly due to its phosphorus content, which also guarantees good bone quality.<\/p>\n
Moreover, it has moderate quantities of group B vitamins and is a good source of vitamin E, which has an antioxidant action (in addition to significant quantities of zinc and phytosterols).<\/p>\n
The above means that almonds are often recommended for growing children and athletes.<\/p>\n

According to figures from the Ministry of Science and Innovation\u2019s Spanish Food Composition Database (BEDCA), the almond has the following attributes:<\/p>\n

According to the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN), \u201cit has been shown that substituting saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet lowers the cholesterol in the blood. A high level of cholesterol is a coronary heart disease risk factor\u201d.<\/p>\n

The almond contains high-quality proteins rich in essential amino acids, according to the MAPA.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”High fibre content (8 g for each 100 g)” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_font_size=”30px” body_font=”Rns Sanz||||||||” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n
It stands out above other nuts and dried fruits.<\/p>\n

Vitamin E \u201chelps to protect the cells against oxidative damage\u201d, according to the AESAN. Just 50 g of raw almond provides 100% of the recommended daily intake.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide heading=”High phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and zinc content, and a source of iron” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ header_font_size=”30px” body_font=”Rns Sanz||||||||” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_transition=”on”]<\/p>\n
A 20 g serving of raw almond provides 15% of the recommended daily intake for phosphorus and magnesium, and around 6% of those recommended for iron, potassium and calcium.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_slider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”22px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Because of the above, the four countries targeted by the campaign all recommend the regular consumption of almonds and other nuts and dried fruit.<\/p>\n
These are the guidelines published by the different States, according to the European Commission:<\/p>\n
