Calories in Nuts, almonds, whole
Botanically a peach pit's edible cousin, not a true nut
What makes nuts so powerful?
Almonds aren't technically nuts at all — they're the edible seed inside the pit of a fruit closely related to peaches, cherries, and plums, all in the same genus. The almond tree's fruit looks like a fuzzy, leathery peach; what you eat is the seed found inside the hard pit at its center. Almonds also have one of the highest vitamin E contents of any food, a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes — and because almonds are mostly unsaturated fat, that vitamin E arrives in exactly the kind of fat the body needs to absorb it well.
Skin-on almonds carry more antioxidants (flavonoids) than blanched almonds, since much of that content is concentrated in the brown skin. A small handful, about 23 almonds or 28g, is a standard serving — easy to overeat past that since they're calorie-dense.
