Nut
Almonds have been revered since ancient times as symbols of wellness and abundance. These elegant, tear-shaped nuts are structurally seeds, hiding a wealth of nutrition beneath their crisp outer skins. Almonds are the ultimate high-performance snack: structurally stable, highly portable, and perfectly balanced with plant protein, premium fats, and a sweeping array of minerals that curb cravings and keep your brain sharp between meals.
When buying whole almonds, choose ones that are uniform in shape, feel heavy, and don't rattle excessively in their shell (a rattle can mean they are drying out and turning stale). If buying shelled almonds, look for a matte, cream-colored center when broken open, without any bitter aroma.
Because almonds are high in healthy oils, they can spoil and go rancid if exposed to too much heat, light, and air. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry for up to 3 months, or stash them in the fridge or freezer to keep them perfectly fresh for up to a full year!
