1. Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 43 grams per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of almonds (28 grams) has 13 grams of unsaturated fat and only 1 gram of saturated fat.

2. Sustainable almond farming utilises production practices that are economically viable and are based upon scientific research, common sense and a respect for the environment, neighbours and employees.
