Cayenne Pepper Almonds

We start with California variety Almonds and a little sugar, add a few dashes of freshly ground cayenne pepper and add a pinch of salt at the end.  The combination of sweet and hot makes for a tantalizing taste that begins sweet and finishes with a bang.  It is just the right mix, not too hot for the delicate palate and just enough for the experienced spicy connoisseur.  These almonds have a nice yellow color to them.

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that may play a role in the prevention of many chronic diseases.  Almonds are a premier source of vitamin E.  One ounce of almonds (about 23 almonds) contains 35% of the Daily Value for vitamin E. Since the National Academy of Sciences increased the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for this important antioxidant in 2001, most Americans aren't getting enough of this essential nutrient.

Almonds are nutritionally dense – a quality emphasized in the government’s Dietary Guidelines. Independent analyses show that almonds are the most nutritionally dense nut, whether compared calorie per calorie or ounce per ounce. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 encourage Americans to choose nutritionally dense foods – that is, to get the most nutrition possible out of the calories you eat. A one-ounce, 160-calorie serving of almonds, or about a handful, is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, and a good source of fiber. It also offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron.

Eating a daily handful of almonds a day may lower LDL, or “bad” cholesterol.  In a clinical trial published in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation, men and women who ate one daily ounce of almonds for a month lowered their LDL cholesterol by 4.4 percent. Those who ate two daily ounces of almonds lowered their LDL cholesterol even more – by 9.4 percent – and maintained their weight.

One ounce of almonds (about 23 almonds) provides 6 grams of protein.
