Marcona almonds have a high content of cholesterol fighting mono unsaturated oil.

Marconas are a delicate strain of almond since the trees are early bloomers, making the blossoms especially vulnerable to early spring frosts. The groves are found along the Mediterranean coasts of Spain, from the southern coast of Málaga, proceeding east up the coast to Tarragona.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may be familiar with almonds in the United States which are contained in light brown, porous shells. Spanish Marcona almonds are a different variety that has a protective hard shell that resists insects. For this reason they may be grown naturally with no need for herbicides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Tienda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44064350273619,"sku":"nt-08","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9260\/1171\/files\/NT-08.jpg?v=1787743471","url":"https:\/\/tienda.com\/products\/marcona-almonds-1880-nt-08","provider":"La Tienda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
