Did you know almonds are in the PEACH family!!??
They are in the category of stone fruits that have little “stone pits” in them like cherries, plums, peaches & nectarines. Cool!
Almonds are one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Nuts are typically high in calories but almonds are one of the lowest calorie nuts having about 160 calories for 1 ounce, which is about 23 almonds. GREAT snack guys!! We throw some chocolate chips in with them and its a super fun little snack that keeps you full for hours!

“What did the big almond tree do all summer?——Nuttin’!!!!” .
Ha Ha Ha!!
The almond “meat” inside the nut is light colored, slightly chewy and very slightly sweet. Delicious!!
Set out a bowl and it is easy to grab a few here and there!
