In a {{convert|100|g|oz|adj=on|abbr=off|frac=2}} reference amount, almonds supply {{convert|579|kcal|kJ|order=flip|abbr=off}} of [[food energy]]. The almond is a nutritionally dense food, providing a rich source (20% or more of the [[Daily Value]], DV) of the [[B vitamin]]s [[riboflavin]] and [[Niacin (nutrient)|niacin]], [[vitamin E]], and the [[essential mineral]]s [[calcium]], copper, iron, [[magnesium]], [[manganese]], [[phosphorus]], and [[zinc]]. Almonds are a moderate source (10β19% DV) of the B vitamins [[thiamine]], [[vitamin B6|vitamin B<sub>6</sub>]], and [[folate]], choline, and the essential mineral [[potassium]]. They also contain substantial [[dietary fibre]], the [[monounsaturated fat]], [[oleic acid]], and the [[polyunsaturated fat]], linoleic acid. Typical of nuts and seeds, almonds are a source of [[phytosterol]]s such as [[beta-sitosterol]], [[stigmasterol]], [[campesterol]], [[sitostanol]], and [[campestanol]].<ref name="Berryman2011">{{cite journal |vauthors=Berryman CE, Preston AG, Karmally W, Deckelbaum RJ, Kris-Etherton PM |title=Effects of almond consumption on the reduction of LDL-cholesterol: a discussion of potential mechanisms and future research directions |journal=Nutrition Reviews |volume=69 |issue=4 |pages=171β85 |date=April 2011 |pmid=21457263 |doi=10.1111/j.1753-4887.2011.00383.x|doi-access=free }}</ref>
