Are you feeling up for a low-stress pop quiz? Great! Here goes: Would you say that an Almond is: A) a vegetable, B) a nut or C) a seed? If you said “C,” a seed, you’re right! |
Does this come as a surprise? It very well may! If you ask around, we’ll bet that pretty much everyone considers it a nut, maybe with the exception of experts on the topic. So now that you know, consider this a fun fact to spring on your friends next time you’re tossing out trivia on little-known food facts. For the sake of convenience, many of us refer to it as a nut, and we think that it’s likely nobody will ever challenge us on this one.
| Back to the topic of the raw truth about Almonds. Call ‘em seeds or call ‘em nuts, they’re your friend when it comes to making healthy choices. Whether you enjoy them raw, toasted, chopped, sliced or however, they are packed with nutrients! According to the Mayo Clinic, it takes just one ounce of Almonds to fulfill your Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin E. |
