Almond Applications
Snacks & Bars
Almonds are one of the world’s most nutritious foods1. Whether eaten whole or in one of the various forms, almonds add protein, fiber, vitamins, and heart healthy unsaturated fats to applications. This recognizable, whole food ingredient speaks to consumers reaching for snacks that are nutrient-dense, satisfying, and minimally processed.
