   Hunger Smashing Almonds: Almonds contain more disease-fighting vitamin E than any other nut, and more than 90% of the fat is unsaturated, which is the heart-healthy kind. In addition, a handful of nuts can really satisfy your hunger, and the high fat content keeps you fuller longer, resulting in less eating overall. Roasting almonds, as in this recipe, helps release flavor compounds that make for a richer, more nutty taste.
