You may have memories of your grandma telling you to eat “saath (seven) badaam a day.” Well, research suggests that she was giving you good advice!
Badaam, like all nuts, are a good source of protein, but a handful of around 25 badaam (28 grams / 1 ounce) have also been shown to be heart-protective as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle. A 28 gram serving will give around 200 Calories and almost 7 grams of protein. (By comparison, you get 6 grams of protein in an egg). Badaam also provide fibre, and are a source of vitamin E, magnesium and calcium.
