Nickel in almond

Flyvholm et al. 1984 reports almond mean Ni at 1.3 µg/g (range 1.0 to 1.5 µg/g, n=5 samples) from the post-1969 AAS/PIXE literature. Almonds sit in the same population-level high-Ni group as hazelnuts (1.8 µg/g, n=12), walnuts (3.6 µg/g, n=1), peanuts (2.8 µg/g, n=2), and pistachios (0.8 µg/g, n=1). EFSA Nickel 2020 subsequently names nuts collectively among the principal dietary Ni sources alongside cocoa, drinking water, legumes, and cereals. For nickel-sensitized consumers (SNAS, approximately 10 to 15 percent of the European adult population), nuts including almonds are routinely excluded from the low-nickel diet protocols; Braga et al. 2013 BraMa-Ni diet (~50 µg Ni/day) and the conventional forbidden-foods list both exclude almonds.
