Almonds and nutrition
Marzipan is a treat that may be used as an ingredient in confectionery, cakes and desserts for special occasions all year round.
Marzipan is made of almonds and sugar/glucose, which means that the total energy content is relatively high. Odense pure raw marzipan, for instance, contains 60% almonds and no preservatives. In other Odense products, the almonds are combined with or replaced by apricot kernels, which, among other things, are characterised by their excellent baking qualities.
Almonds and apricot kernels may be said to be some of our best foodstuffs. They have a high content of convertible energy, a high oil content with an almost perfect combination of unsaturated fatty acids, a high content of good quality protein and a fair amount of vitamins and minerals.
Some of the proteins in almonds and apricot kernels may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.
