LIL' SALTY ROASTED & SALTED ALMONDS
Summary
This product contains almonds, which are nutrient-dense and beneficial for heart health. However, the use of expeller pressed canola oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, detracts from its overall quality. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the presence of healthy ingredients.

Key ingredients 3
AlmondsVery Good
Almonds are a nutrient-dense food rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. They provide essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E and magnesium. Their consumption is associated with heart health benefits and improved cholesterol levels.
Benefits
Rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, almonds support heart health and provide anti-inflammatory properties.
Expeller pressed canola oilVery Bad
Canola oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. The expeller pressing method is a mechanical extraction process that avoids chemical solvents, but the oil still undergoes refining. Despite being a common cooking oil, it is less favorable compared to oils like olive or avocado due to its fatty acid profile.
Risks
High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.

Unrefined sea salt — a minimally processed, natural source of sodium and essential trace minerals, and a legitimate whole-food seasoning. Treated as a positive ingredient.
