Almonds are the seeds of the almond fruit that grow in around 30 different varieties. They are described by many as "the kings of the nuts." All this is due to the extraordinary content of vitamins and minerals valuable for health. Almonds are often used to produce flour, which is especially appreciated by people who follow the principles of a gluten-free diet. In addition, almond seeds are used in the production of a special almond paste with exceptional nutritional values. Almonds are rich in nutrients. They contain vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. They have a high content of healthy unsaturated fats (EFAs). Almonds are rich in vitamin E, a well-known antioxidant, a substance that stops oxidation processes, thus clearing the veins and preventing heart disease, and slowing down the aging of cells. Almonds are believed to contribute to the maintenance of healthy bones through the content of calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, vitamin K, protein and zinc.

Erythrol, like xylitol and mannitol, belongs to the group of sugar alcohols (so-called polyols). It is distinguished by a low caloric content and a low glycemic index. Erythrol is found naturally in some fruits (for example, pears or grapes) and in pollen, mushrooms, seafood, sea algae, lichens, and fermentable beverages (for example, wine). Erythritol is obtained by synthesizing yeast from waste glycerin. The benefits of using erythritol are: - it is not synthesized by the human body, which means that it is excreted from it along with urine unchanged; - its consumption does not cause any adverse effects within the system digestive; - erythritol can be a valuable element in the prevention of caries in children and individuals adults; - erythritol has an antioxidant effect; - its excessive consumption does not cause a laxative effect as in the case of xylitol.
