As India celebrates the Harvest Season with major festivals like Makar Sankranti, Pongal, and Lohri, California Almonds are making their mark as a healthier alternative to traditional festive sweets. Rich in 15 essential nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins, almonds are gaining traction among health-conscious consumers looking to enjoy the season’s indulgences without compromising their well-being. Experts are increasingly recommending almonds as part of a balanced diet to combat the rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases like diabetes and obesity.
The Indian Council of Medical Research–National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR-NIN) has recognized almonds for their health benefits, including supporting heart health, managing weight, and regulating blood sugar levels. As more people turn to nutritious options, almonds are seen as an ideal addition to festive meals.
In Guwahati, the demand for California Almonds is growing, with an increasing number of consumers incorporating them into their diets. The region’s preference for healthier, nutrient-dense foods has led to a surge in demand for almonds, both in traditional sweets and as standalone snacks. Retailers are responding by expanding their almond offerings, catering to the city’s health-conscious population looking for nutritious alternatives during the festive season.
