Almonds come hand in hand with health benefits as a whole food ingredient with a healthy nutrient package that's accessible for consumers seeking a natural approach to well-being. One serving of almonds includes 4 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein for satiety and sustained energy, seven essential vitamins and nutrients, 13 grams of "good" unsaturated fats and 1 gram of saturated fat, and 50 percent of the daily value for vitamin E— a powerful antioxidant that promotes skin health and supports immunity.
It's no surprise that Innova Market Insights notes three-quarters of product launches with almonds in North America and nearly half in the EU feature a health claim. According to an Innova report on almond products with health claims in those regions, innovative new products made with almonds are being positioned to enhance various aspects of functional wellbeing.1In Italy, energy and cognitive function are focal points for CÉRÉAL's杏仁，蔓越莓和椰子记忆食品棒补充剂。在美国，SMPL平静的酒吧，由杏仁和各种功能成分制成，有望帮助消费者“舒缓日常压力，并减少精神和身体疲劳，同时保持专注和警觉”。
