Almonds
83% of the world’s almonds and 99% of the country’s almonds are grown in the central valley of California. They are the highest producing value crop grown in the state, and are the number one snack nut in the United States. However, almonds are more than just a snack food. They are a nutrient rich food providing: protein, calcium, potassium, vitamin E, niacin, riboflavin, folic acid, iron, and dietary fiber. Almond Almanac 2014
