Author	Topic: What about almonds?
Jean 10-11-2002 01:41 PM	Wai, You never talk about eating almonds. Why? Aren't they healthy?
Wai 10-12-2002 01:43 PM	The protein quality of almonds is too low; 31% (Brazil nut protein quality is 3-fold better), which is very important on a low protein diet. Also, its fat contents (54%)are a bit lower (Brazil nuts 67%, macadamia nut 73%) and almonds are a bit less easy to digest. So, of course you can eat (sweet) raw almonds, but they aren't as valuable as others.

Wai 05-23-2003 09:09 AM	ehhrrr i dont think ive said that! theyre not really bad, but not so easy to digest, and when you take almonds, make sure they are sweet, not bitter
