Almonds are exactly the kind of snack food you can eat by the handful without ever realizing you’ve gone overboard. Just imagine yourself at a party or a picnic, almonds within reach… before you know what’s happened, the bowl is empty and you’re left holding the bag. Whether directly out of the bag or from a bowl, these nuts have that great nutty flavor that just keeps you coming back for more. And because almonds contain good fats and are great sources of protein, well, what’s the downside? Trader Joe’s Dry Roasted & Salted Almonds are grown in Kern County, at the southern end of California’s San Joaquin Valley. Inside each bag you’ll find only non-pareil (translation, “no equal”) almonds and salt – nothign elese. They’re oven roasted without additional oils, so they’re naturally free of cholesterol and added fats. They’re also a good source of fiber. Again, what’s the downside? From what we can see, there isn’t one.
