Which almond is better – California, Mamra, or Gurbandi?

To answer the question, “Which Almonds Are the Best?”

The tannin found in almond peel prevents the body from effectively absorbing the healthy fats and protein found in the nuts themselves, making soaked almonds the superior option. Almonds’ peels come off easily after being soaked, and the nuts’ nutrients are released more readily. Eat better to have better health. We all know a good brain resides in a good body.

I am providing a detailed comparison to analyze which almond variety is good for health. If you talk about price then no doubt California is better, in taste California is better, and carbohydrate content California is better but in the cultivation process, Mamra and Gurbandi both are the best, although it is costly and bitter in taste due to the high content of fat.

The sweet taste of California almonds is due to processing before coming to the consumer.

The next question comes to mind which is better Raw or Soaked Almond?

For diabetic patients or with weight loss, California almond is better as it contains less amount of carbohydrates and sugar. Before consuming California almond make sure it is soaked in water overnight. This helps in reducing chemicals used during processing.

Raw almond contains tannin on their skin so before consuming overnight soaked almond gives extra benefit in removing toxic chemicals including tannin.

Soaking almond consumption has numerous health benefits, let’s see some known important benefits

• Tannin in the skin is easily removed so it produces less harm
• Nutrients availability increases after soaking
