Almonds, or Badam in Hindi, are among the most popular and nutritious nuts consumed worldwide. Technically a seed of the Prunus dulcis tree (native to the Middle East and South Asia), almonds are now widely cultivated in countries like the USA (California), India, and Iran.

In Indian culture, almonds are considered a symbol of wellness and prosperity, often used in rituals, sweets, milk-based drinks, and traditional medicines. Whether eaten raw, soaked, roasted, or blended into almond milk, badam is a powerhouse of health benefits and taste.

Health Benefits of Almonds (Badam)

Almonds are incredibly nutrient-dense and offer a wide range of health advantages:

1. Boosts Brain Power
