#mandorle Almonds have an incredible nutritional profile. 28 grams (a small handful) contain (1): Fibers: 3.5 grams Protein: 6 grams Fats: 14 grams (9 of which monounsaturated). Vitamin E: 37% of the recommended daily dose Manganese: 32% of the recommended daily dose Magnesium: 20% of the recommended daily dose They also contain a certain amount of copper, vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and phosphorus And all this in a small handful, with only 161 calories and 2.5 grams of digestible carbohydrates. It is also important to note that 10-15% of the calories of almonds are not absorbed by the body, because it is too difficult to access fat and break it down . Unfortunately, almonds are also rich in phytic acid, a substance that binds to some minerals, preventing their absorption. This means that the amount of iron, zinc and calcium that you can absorb from almonds is little. To prevent the phytic acid from completely blocking the absorption of minerals, always remember to soak the almonds in water and lemon juice or water and apple vinegar before consuming them. Almonds have an incredible nutritional profile. #toniperno #tuono #latorretta
