What it is

Salted almonds are whole or chopped almonds that have been coated with salt. Almonds are tree nuts that grow on the almond tree. They are typically roasted and then seasoned with salt.

Why it's used

Salt is added to almonds primarily to enhance their flavor and act as a preservative by drawing out moisture. They are commonly found in snack mixes, trail mixes, and as a standalone snack.

Health notes

Salted almonds contain sodium, which is essential for bodily functions but can contribute to high blood pressure when consumed in excess. The FDA considers salt (sodium chloride) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used for its intended purpose. JECFA has evaluated salt and established Acceptable Daily Intakes. Excessive sodium intake is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to the World Health Organization.

Allergen info

Almonds are tree nuts, which are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. People with tree nut allergies should avoid this ingredient.
