Almonds have more fiber, protein, and other nutrients than any
other nuts; they may even be good for your heart. Toasting improves
their rather chewy texture and mild flavor. Sliced or slivered
almonds add an elegant touch to everyday green beans, and ground
almonds make a delicious nut butter. (Theyre also the basis of
marzipan.) Bigger, flatter, and higher in fat, Spanish Marcona
almonds are prized for their sweet, delicate taste.
