We’re nuts about almonds! These amazing nuts are not only delicious, but also quite healthy and versatile! Nuts and seeds supply a wealth of nutrients like the minerals zinc and selenium, heart-healthy fats and vitamin E, an antioxidant known for its age-fighting abilities.

Want to add more nutty nutrients to your diet? Tree nuts including almonds, walnuts, pistachios, pecans and Brazil nuts make great add-ins for salads, casseroles and, of course, dessert. Here are a few great ways to get your almond fix:

Start your morning off right with fruity and nutty Trailblazin’ Granola.

Use as part of a delectable filling in Baked Capay Valley Tomatoes.

Blend with a few other ingredients to create a creamy White Gazpacho.

Make bite-sized snacks like Gluten-Free Maple Fruit and Nut Squares.

Throw on a salad like Mixed Greens with Strawberries and Goat Cheese.

Roll some up with cream cheese, honey and fruit for Kid-Friendly “Sushi.”

Top crostini with a tasty Olive, Raisin, Cranberry and Almond Relish and Gorgonzola Spread.

Use almonds and coconut to go gluten-free with these easy Nutty Cake Pops.

For a super simple and tasty snack, you can also roast almonds in the oven or toast in a skillet, then cool and enjoy!
