Almond..

 

Almonds,  the brown, oblong nuts are famous for their heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, their antioxidant vitamin E, and their plant-based protein. 

It’s no wonder they have a reputation for being crunchy—both in the literal way and the naturally-good-for-you way enhancing all sorts of wholesome dishes from muffins to trail mixes.

But it turns out, almonds have been holding out on us. 

New research shows they harbor even more health benefits than we thought. Recent studies have unveiled that almonds can benefit your gut, elevate skin health, and even support fitness.
