Some of the best snacks you can enjoy (in moderation) are nuts, and almonds in particular. A diet tip is to keep a small handful in your pocket to snack on but only eating one at a time and savoring the flavor. They are also low on the glycmic table so they are particularly good as a snack.
Botanically speaking, almonds are related to cherries, plums and peaches. One of their common traits is producing the most fantastic blooms every spring. Experts agree the first almond varieties originated in China. Throughout history almonds have always been associated with good luck.
