A small study suggests that snacking on approximately 46 almonds each day may help promote gut health by increasing levels of butyrate.

Some of the benefits are lost when using ground almond. Almonds consume a lot of water, particularly in California where 80% of almonds are grown.

    I doubt I’ll ever be able to manage that many on a daily basis, as I eat other nuts as well.

    Also, although growing almonds consumes a lot of water, I suspect it is still a far better use of resources than many of the foods the American food system outputs.
