Five Facts about Almonds
Since succombing to my cashew allergy, I have tried to eat more almonds. They’re healthier anyway, right? Well, I’ve learned quite a bit about them:
1. About 23 almonds equals one ounce.
2. There is even a tin you can buy that holds exactly one ounce.
3. Almonds come from California.
4. Almonds are first on the Mayo Clinic’s list of super foods. (To be fair, they are first because of alphabetical reasons, but, hey, it sounds good to say they’re first, right?)
5. One serving (one ounce/23 almonds) has half of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin E.
This tin seems a bit silly to me.
