Extended information:

The best time to eat nuts is during meals, because eating them after meals will cause excessive energy intake during the day. Eating nuts with meals can help enhance our feeling of fullness, especially nuts with high dietary fiber content such as large almonds, small almonds, and hazelnuts, which have the best effect.

Nuts can be eaten chopped or whole, but each has pros and cons that vary from person to person. When whole almonds are eaten, the feeling of fullness will be stronger, and the effect of controlling the rise in blood sugar after meals will be better.

For example, almonds have a dense texture and high fiber content. It is difficult to chew and grind them thoroughly, so the digestion speed is slow, and the rise in blood sugar and blood lipids will naturally be slower. Breaking it into pieces may speed up digestion. This is especially true if ground into paste.
