Blue Diamond Almond Toppers
You will find many flavors (plus Bacon Cheddar and Honey Roast) from Sunkist, which has also gotten into the seasoned slivered-almond act with its Almond Accents.
Almonds -- like any other nuts -- are calorie dense, but their unsaturated fat can cut cholesterol and protect your heart.
But unless you are one of the few Americans who are trying to gain weight, you can't just follow the package's advice to "enjoy them as a snack right out of the bag." Instead, start with a tablespoon; that is around 40 calories, 35 milligrams of sodium, and four grams of fat -- none of it saturated.
Two tablespoons is probably more realistic. Just don't get carried away.
With almonds like these, it's hard to stop at a handful!
