Did you know the power of almonds extends far beyond their nutrition? These little wonders support Valley agriculture, create jobs, and provide nourishment! Packing 6 grams of protein per ounce and offering a rich blend of 12 vitamins and minerals, almonds are a true powerhouse!
Fun fact: 80% of the world’s almonds come from the U.S., predominantly from California, where over a million acres yield a whopping 2.25 billion pounds of shelled almonds annually. Bee populations play a crucial role, with rented commercial bees traveling nationwide to pollinate Californian almond trees, requiring nearly half of the U.S. bee population!
