Almonds weighed with shells reflect the whole-weight purchase format where the shell (about 40-50% of weight) is inedible. The edible kernel is identical in nutrition to shelled almonds: outstanding vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, monounsaturated fat, and protein. This entry is useful for calculating yield from in-shell almond purchases.
Crack shells with a nutcracker and use kernels immediately for the freshest flavour; in-shell almonds keep longer than shelled as the shell protects from oxidation.

Macronutrients per 100g
Vitamins & Minerals
* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
