Diamond Almonds
Almonds are a good source of magnesium. One ounce contain approximately 20% of the RDA for an adult recommended dietary allowance (RDA)
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) the amounts of selected nutrients considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of healthy people. The RDA is based on scientific knowledge and has been presented by a committee of the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The Canadian equivalent is the Recommended Nutrient Intakes. RDA is generally accepted throughout the world as a valid source of information. At least 40 different nations have as well as organizations have published standards similar to the RDA.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant.
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Are you taking enough magnesium in the diet? The recommended daily allowance is 300mgs/day for men, 350mgs for women. Magnesium is extremely safe by mouth - too much simply causes diarrhea. Try increasing the amount of magnesium you take by mouth until it causes diarrhea, then reduce the dose slightly so it does not. This is called taking magnesium to bowel tolerance (just like using vitamin C to bowel tolerance.
Almonds are a good source of Fiber.
One ounce contains approximately 12% of the RDA for an adult.
So, in summary, Almonds are a very healthy snack, so what's left to say?
Two things:
1st be cautious about "bowel tolerance" or "happy bowels" if you prefer.
2nd Taste. I realize that taste is a personal thing. That's why they make chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla.
Here's my current favorites"
1st Blue Diamond Dark mint dark chocolate (reminds me of the chocolate mint Girl Scout Cookies with less sugar).
2nd Blue diamond Dark Chocolate Oven Roasted
3rd Blue diamond Blue Butter Toffee
4thd Blue Diamond Almonds Bold Habanero BBQ (reminds me of BBQ potato chips again with less sugar).
5th Bold Blazin Buffalo Wing
6th Blue Diamond Almonds Cinnamon Brown Sugar
7th Blue Diamond Almonds Lime `n Chili
8th Blue Diamond Almonds Smokehouse
9th Bold Wasabi & Soy Sauce
But that's just me: you might have a completely different take on these flavors.
4th and 5th are very close.

These are the best!Apr 12, 2012
By J. Kauffman
"Jade"
I have had hypoglycemia at least since I was 5. That means I have to eat high protein, high complex carb, low simple sugars in six small feedings a day. That diet also has to be low fat, low cholesterol, low sodium, and as free of refined sugars as humanly possible. You can imagine, I suppose, that such a restricted diet can be a monster pain to follow. Blue Diamond Natural Almonds are a staple in that diet. And when I get them in multi-package containers like this one, I save a lot of money. They crunch, they taste good, and they're good for me, as well as everyone else!
A great tasting and crunchy snack that is healthier for you!May 25, 2012

As I read a book in the evenings I sometimes want a snack. Being a diabetic I look for things that are low in sugar, high in protein and low in sodium. These almonds are whole natural almonds and don't have a lot of other additives in them to make them unhealthy. They are rich in vitamin E, magnesium, calcium and potassium. They also contain 3 grams of dietary fiber but only one gram of sugar. One serving is 160 calories.
Not only are they ideal for a quick snack they are good to have while you are in the car and driving. Your family will enjoy them as a quick energy booster without all of the salt. I like all of the other flavors but to be honest if I can enjoy a snack and avoid all of the salt and sugar that can be added to the other almond flavors I will. I don't feel as guilty and it is better for me!
