START OF TEXT: 20 grams of almonds per day is still below average for an adult. Although raw nuts contain antinutritional substances, there is no need to worry about these, as they are harmless in such amounts for a healthy individual (their property is that they complicate the absorption of minerals from such food). Almond skins do contain cyanide, but health risks only start with long-term daily consumption in multiples of the 20 grams, which is highly unlikely for an average person. Moreover, their content can be somewhat reduced by boiling.
