Special Diets - almonds


Expert: Tanya Zilberter, PhD - 5/24/2005

Question
Hi Tanya,
they say that eating a bunch of almonds every day is very good for you because they contain "good" fats that can balance the sugar level in your blood.
I saw they sell both peeled almonds (white and smooth) and un-peeled almonds (brown and crinkled).
Is there any difference whatsoever between the two?
And for my purpose which type is better?
Thank you very much!

Answer
Kelly,

The most comprehensive information you can get following this URL:

http://www24.netrition.com/cgi/foods.cgi?aid=339&url=data=12061

in the search window, type in almonds and there'll be both peeled (blanced) and unpeeled (unblanced)

Compare and see the difference.

Hope it helps,

Tanya Zilberter, PhD
