Almonds are considered a nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins A, K, and E, protein, fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants.
Experts recommend that people of all ages eat almonds daily for their protein benefits.
Animal studies show that the polyphenols in almonds can prevent cholesterol oxidation and may help reduce oxidized LDL cholesterol levels if consumed daily.
The fiber in almond skins, which contains beneficial polyphenols, is good for heart health and cancer prevention.
Celebrity nutritionist Sheela Krishnaswamy says, "Eating almonds with their skins is beneficial because of the high fiber and digestive advantages."
However, she adds, "Some elderly people may have digestive problems from eating almonds with their skins, so they should avoid almonds with skins."
Rishabh Chokhani, Founder of Naturevibe Botanicals, also states, "The tannins in almond skins can be difficult to digest, so those with digestive issues should avoid almonds with their skins."
Experts agree that while almonds with skins provide more fiber, they should be avoided by those with digestive problems.
Additionally, due to their high-calorie content, almonds should be consumed in moderation, and it’s best to consult an expert before eating them with their skins.
