Spa cuisine and healthy diet > Take Almonds to Heart this February
Celebrate Heart Month with the ingredient that loves hearts back

This February, embrace Heart Month by choosing heart-healthy foods like almonds. Special enough for a Valentine’s dinner yet practical enough for an on-the-go snack, almonds are one food that can literally be taken to heart.

Almonds make meals and snacks work harder by adding nutrients and a satisfying crunch all while helping to maintain a healthy heart. Eating a handful of almonds a day can help maintain a healthy cholesterol level. It’s a great way to celebrate Heart Month.” One ounce (28 g), or 23 almonds, delivers monounsaturated fats, fibre (3g), vitamin E (7.5mg), and protein (6g), all nutrients that contribute to a healthy heart.

In addition to their nutrient profile, almonds are versatile and great-tasting. They work in sweet and savoury dishes, adding flavour and crunch.

Here are some tasty recipes to spice up your meal.
