We love to share good news about things we love, and we love almonds! NPR's Food blog, the Salt posted this research report on almonds.
If Almonds Bring You Joy, Enjoy More For Fewer Calories, saying that almonds may have 20% fewer calories than previously reported.
We're fussy about our almonds and prefer these freshly roasted, soft shell lovelies we buy from Fastachi at their shop in Watertown or at one of the farmers' markets they attend.
Almonds make the perfect pocket food. Put a few in a small container and pop that into your pocket or bag to stave off hunger and save you from less nutritious snacks. And, shelling each as you eat it will slow down your pace and let you feel fuller sooner.
