Almonds are rich in protein, however, they must be ground or chewed well in order to be digested properly. Six almonds are the equivalent of one teaspoon of oil in the diet but they contain little linoleic acid. Because of their protein and fat contents, almonds, in small amounts, would make a good between meals pickup, especially if you’re bothered by low blood sugar.
