February 16th is Almond
February 16th is Almond Day, a special date to honor one of the most versatile and nutritious foods in the world. Almonds, which are the seeds of the almond tree, are known for their health benefits, characteristic flavor and wide application in sweet and savory recipes.
Rich in nutrients such as vitamin E, proteins, fiber and healthy fats, almonds have gained prominence in balanced diets and in the fight against heart disease, thanks to their contribution to cardiovascular health. In addition, the ingredient is widely used in the food and cosmetics industries and even in the manufacture of essential oils.
World Almond Day is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable production of this food, which depends on specific growing conditions and environmental preservation to guarantee its quality and global accessibility.
