Israeli almonds have healing properties

Just in time for Tu Bishvat – the Jewish New Year for Trees, when the first almond blossoms appear in Israel. Israeli almonds are apparently far larger and contain more protein, calcium and vitamin E than imported varieties. For Israelis, they are also fresher and more ecological (no fossil fuel wasted on import). Almonds also contain magnesium, phosphorus, and are high in potassium, zinc, copper and manganese. They’re also a rich source of B vitamins, especially niacin (B3) and folic acid (B9), fibre and antioxidants and are, of course, extremely delicious.
