May 30/Los Angeles -- Wonderful Almonds, nutrient-dense, California-grown nuts available in three varieties – Roasted & Salted, Roasted No Salt and Natural Raw – are rolling out in grocery stores nationwide.
Wonderful Almonds joins Wonderful Pistachios as part of a line of healthy snacks. An initial study associated the consumption of almonds with the potential to help with weight management, something important to consumers leading into swimsuit season. In fact, a study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that people who regularly ate 0.25oz. of nuts each day -- about six almonds -- had four pounds lower mean body weight and 0.8-in. smaller waist circumference than non-tree nut eaters, although causal conclusions were not drawn.
