Breakfast
Breakfast the first meal of the day - the word is a compound of "break" and "fast," referring to the conclusion of fasting since the previous day's last meal. Nutritional experts have referred to breakfast as the most important meal of the day, studies showing that people who skip breakfast are likely to have problems with concentration, metabolism, and weight.
So kickstart your day with almonds!

Snacks
Snack foods are often classified as junk food because they typically have little or no nutritional value, and are not seen as contributing towards general health and nutrition. With growing concerns for diet, weight control and general health, a conscious effort to eat more healthy, natural snacks – such as fruit, vegetables and nuts – while avoiding high-calorie, low-nutrient junk food is key to improving your health.

Sweets
In Western culture dessert is a course that typically comes at the end of a meal, usually consisting of sweet food. The word comes from the French language as dessert and this from Old French desservir, "to clear the table" and "to serve." Common desserts include cakes, cookies, pastries, ice cream, and candies. Fruit may also be eaten with the dessert.
Used in marzipan, nougat, pastries and puddings, sprinkled over desserts, used as garnish on cakes and biscuits, Australian almonds are versatile, delicious additions to your next baking project!
