When American almonds were exported to China in the 1970s, they were misinterpreted as 'American Almonds' and spread widely. This made most consumers simply unaware that almonds and almonds are two completely different products. Misleading long-term. “The American Almond is not an almond in Chinaâ€. It is attributed to Peach in the plant classification. The Chinese scientific name is Amygdalus. It belongs to the same fruit tree as the Ba Danmu produced in Xinjiang, and its nucleolus should be called Almond.
American Almonds
Nutrient dense
The American Almond, which brings together the essence of California sunshine, is a natural and natural food. It is a natural nutrition library. It is a source of high-quality protein, dietary fiber, and magnesium. It also provides calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and other trace elements that the body needs. Like other nuts, large almonds in the United States contain higher fats, but 70% of these fats are unsaturated fats. Studies have shown that unsaturated fats are a healthy fat that can help lower cholesterol while not causing Increase in weight.
Rich in Vitamin E
There are 8 forms of vitamin E, and often it is the form of alpha tocopherol and the form of tocopherol. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences recommends vitamin E in the form of alpha tocopherol, because this form of vitamin E is an optimal vitamin E form that can reach all human cell tissues through blood circulation and is also most easily absorbed by the body. American Almond is the best source of vitamin E in the form of tocopherol. A large American almond (28 g or 23 g) can provide 7.3 mg of vitamin E.
Antioxidant Portfolio Treasury
A study from the University of Tufts in the United States showed that vitamin E in the United States’ large almonds and flavonoids (a kind of antioxidants) in large almond peels act synergistically as a group of antioxidants, both of which are ingested by the human body at the same time. At that time, its anti-oxidant effect will increase exponentially. A unique combination of flavonoids was found in almonds. Eating almonds with skin can significantly increase the content of flavonoids and vitamin E in the body, and it has a significant effect in preventing human aging.
Heart-healthy
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first qualifying health statement for traditional foods in July 2003. The statement stated that most nuts, including large almonds, eat 1.5 ounces (about 42 grams) a day as part of a low-saturated fatty acid and low-cholesterol diet to reduce the risk of heart disease.
The FDA's statement is consistent with the recommendations of major heart health agencies. They all recommend the use of healthy, unsaturated fatty acid-rich foods such as American Almonds, which are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, to replace foods with high saturated fat content.
Helps reduce cholesterol
Several studies conducted by scientists from the United States, Canada, and China have shown that large almonds in the United States can help people with normal or slightly higher cholesterol levels to lower cholesterol and maintain heart health.
A study published by the University of Toronto researchers in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that certain low-saturated fatty foods that are beneficial to heart health can be combined and eaten. Their efficacy in reducing human cholesterol far exceeds that of any type of food. Eat alone, this is what we call synergy of food. These foods include soluble dietary fiber (such as oats), vegetable proteins (such as soybeans), plant sterols (such as steroids), and American large almonds. All four of these ingredients have been issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The cholesterol-lowering effect of the combination diet is even comparable to that of ordinary cholesterol-lowering drugs.
A study on American Almonds hosted by Prof. Liu Yi from Peking University's Department of Medicine also showed that eating large almonds in the United States can reduce human blood total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") without lowering high-density lipoprotein Cholesterol ("good cholesterol"). The trial conducted on 85 middle-aged and elderly volunteers (average age 56 years) showed. Subjects’ total cholesterol levels decreased by 7.6% and LDL cholesterol levels decreased by 9%.
Helps control weight
A recently published authoritative nutrition journal, The British Journal of Nutrition, was published by Dr. James Hollis and Richard Mates (University of Purdue, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA). A joint study conducted by Dr. Richard Mattes showed that eating large almonds in the United States will produce a noticeable satiety and help control the intake of other high-calorie foods; the rich fiber structure of the United States' large almonds significantly offsets its own content. The calories, so the actual intake of calories to the human body is much lower than the number stated on the label, and therefore will not cause weight gain.
Recipe recommendation
Generally, small almonds are used for cooking, while American large almonds are usually eaten directly as dried fruits. In fact, large almonds in the United States can also be used to make delicious dishes.
