The dry fruit world announces Almond as the king of all. It is known as Vatama in Sanskrit and Badam in Hindi. It is a well known rejuvenator-aphrodisiac, anti oxidant and complexion enhancing food ingredient. 

Almonds are good sources of mono-unsaturated fats and poly-unsaturated fats. They facilitate bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol). In additional, eating almonds in small amount (say 3-4 per day and a maximum of 10-12 ) on regular basis can help in rise of HDL cholesterol which is appreciated as good cholesterol.

Being the rich sources of manganese, Vitamin E, riboflavin and copper it helps to gain daily need of energy from these primary resources.
