Almonds have long outgrown their reputation as a simple snacking nut — these days they show up whole, ground into flour, pressed into milk, blended into butter, and folded into everything from granola to salads. They’re also fairly calorie-dense, so it’s worth knowing how much to eat and how to keep a bag of them fresh once it’s opened.

Healthy fats and satiety

Almonds are close to half fat by weight, and most of that is monounsaturated — the same type found in olive oil, generally linked to cardiovascular benefits when eaten in moderation. Combined with protein and fiber, this makes almonds surprisingly filling: a small handful can meaningfully delay hunger between meals.
