Almonds

As I said a while ago, I really like almonds. I had some roasted almonds I bought at Trader Joe's a while back which were roasted in olive oil, salt and rosemary. They had this nice rosemary scent which I really liked a lot. These were some kind of special Spanish almonds but I figured it wouldn't be hard to do with regular ones for a lot less.

They have lots of fiber, protein, mangnaese, a nice profile of fatty acids, etc. I also throw them into food, e.g., couscous, by pan roasting them first. You can make (or buy) almond butter and use almond meal as a substitute for flour in some circumstances.

A long time ago I made this recipe up:
