Almonds are mighty little nuts with
impressive added health benefits:
• Excellent source of Vitamin E – an
important antioxidant
• Only 1 gram of saturated fat and
13 grams of ‘good’ mono – and
polyunsaturated fats
• 3.5 grams of dietary fibre, an
important touch point
for consumers
• 8% daily value of calcium, for those
with a dairy intolerance
• Cholesterol-free – helps to maintain
a healthy heart and
lower cholesterol.
Any way you slice, dice or chop it,
there is a form that’s right for your
product. Almonds can be sourced
slivered, sliced, blanched, whole
or roasted. With so many distinct
varieties and in so many different
forms – the possibilities for your
applications are endless!
Almond flour is suitable for
consumers looking for nutrientdense
foods to help support an
overall healthy lifestyle. With almond
flour, you can easily transition from
traditional flour in your recipes

texture. This gluten-free flour offers

buttery flavour.
Almond flour contains all the health
benefits of whole almonds and is
high in protein, fibre, antioxidants
and healthy fats. You don’t have to
sacrifice taste to create healthier,
more nutritious products. Demand
for gluten-free almond flour globally
has been driven by the overall interest
in healthier cooking and baking
alternatives to white wheat flour.

“We already had two standard

we knew these compressors were
reliable - something that is very
important to our operation,” Herring
says. “When we started researching
high pressure compressed air
solutions, a lot of products on the
market seemed to be manufactured
using quite dated technologies, and
the replacement of parts would have
worked out to be very expensive.
“PSL was able to tailor a compressed
air supply system to meet our exact
needs, and it is already proving
to deliver an energy efficient and
reliable supply of compressed air on
demand.” www.kaeser.co.nz or
