Almond flakes are thinly sliced and slightly crisp to the bite. They have a nice nutty flavour without the use of any added oils, salt or preservatives. Naturally, as is commonplace with almonds they also have a very high nutritional value and offer many health benefits. These include vitamins E and B2 (riboflavin), manganese, magnesium and copper in very good amounts. Collectively, these are known to help maintain good cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, support healthy brain function and assist in controlling blood sugar levels. Riboflavin in particular, is known to play a key role in many functions, from promoting energy production, offering antioxidant protection and assisting with the metabolism of iron.
