Marcona almonds, the? Queen of Almonds,? are imported from Spain. They are shorter, rounder, softer, and sweeter than other varieties. Further, they are prized for being more tender, sweet, and delicate. These almonds contain the same excellent health benefits as all almonds, including cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fats. They are also an equally rich source of protein, antioxidants, iron, and calcium.
