Blue Diamond's Cinnamon Brown Sugar Almond Review

Almonds are a girl's best friend! Ok, Diamonds are. Well, at least withBlue Diamond Almonds they will give you a wealth of health. The "new" brand of Blue Diamond Almonds comes in four oven roasted flavors - no salt, cinnamon brown sugar, vanilla bean, and sea salt. The Blue Diamond cinnamon brown sugar flavor has a very light sweet flavor however not too sweet and with a hint of cinnamon. There is no grainy brown sugar residual on the almonds. Blue Diamond is the largest tree nut processing and marketing company out there. Blue Diamond Almonds was founded in 1910. There is nothing like buying from a company that has a history of pleasing their customers as Blue Diamond Almonds does.

Almonds have been known to have great health benefits, whether you want to lower your LDL - cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) to reduce your risk of heart disease or if you want to keep a more alkaline ph in your body. Actually, you can reduce your LDL Cholesterol by eight to twelve per cent if you eat almonds in place of whatever animal fat you eat. You can manage your weight with almonds because they will fill you up. A quarter cup of almonds contains nearly 25% of the daily value of magnesium plus 257 mg of potassium. Magnesium is a natural channel blocker for calcium. Potassium is important for good circulation. There has been twenty years of data studied on over 80,000 women from the Nurses' Health Study showing women who eat least 1 ounce of nuts, peanuts or peanut butter each week have a 25% lower risk of developing gallstones. So, all in all almonds are great for our hearts and bodies. Hey, let's not forget they taste great too!

Blue Diamond almonds are a great source of fiber and protein. For a one ounce serving, which is twenty four nuts, the fiber content is a whopping three grams and the protein is six grams. As I mentioned before the cinnamon brown sugar flavor is not on the sweet side. The sugar content is just three grams per serving.

Some ideas you can use almonds with are:

Desserts like muffins, baklava

Make pancakes with bananas and crushed almonds. You won't need syrup!
Salads, either fruit or lettuce

Stuff a fig with an almond for a nice appetizer

Chicken dishes

Mediterranean dishes
