Almonds

Almonds contain calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium and have a high fat content and also high in protien and energy. The fat they contain is the healthy unsaturated type. All nuts should be eaten while fresh as they build up contaminants that can cause illness. Whole nuts should not be given to children under five years of age due to the risk of choking.
