Almond Powder

You can buy almonds with skin and grind it in the food processor to a fine powder and use it as a addition to any food that you are preparing. Store the powder in the refrigerator and it will come for months .

Nutritional benefits of Almonds:

One teeny ounce of almonds contains 12 percent of your daily allowance of protein. And absolutely no cholesterol, of course. You'll also get 35 percent of your daily allowance of vitamin E, that valuable antioxidant with so many cancer-fighting qualities. And most of the fat in almonds is monounsaturated, also known as the "good" fat.

This little nut is also loaded with minerals like magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, as well as lots of healthy fiber. And don't forget calcium and folic acid - they're in there too!


So try adding almonds to your child's diet.
