Because they are packed with nutrition, almonds are the most popular of all the different types of tree nuts. High in protein (6 grams per ounce) and fiber (4 grams per ounce), they are also an excellent source of other vitamins and minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Two decades of research has shown that almonds can help maintain a healthy heart and weight.
