Just picked up a can of emerald dry roasted almonds and they are extremely tasty. Has anyone else had these before?

Almonds are very high in monosaturated fats and vitamin E.

Almonds slow absorption of carbohydrates in the body, which may help management of diabetes. In addition to lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, researchers at the University of Toronto are finding that eating almonds may reduce the impact carbohydrate-rich food has on blood sugar levels. Preliminary data highlight that eating almonds along with carbohydrate-rich foods creates a slower rise in blood sugar, which may increase satiety and help to keep insulin levels from fluctuating too dramatically. More research into the effects of almonds on diabetes management and blood sugar levels is planned.
