# Black Garlic Almond Flavors Spirit Almond Draws Attention with Its Japanese-Style Almonds By Kalin Ned | Published 2023-04-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanesestyle-almonds References: [spiritalmond](https://spiritalmond.com/products/black-garlic)  Spirit Almond's Japanese-style almonds are bound to capture the attention of consumers with adventurous tastebuds, as well as those looking for [healthy snack alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuffnut). The [Black Garlic Dry-Roasted Almonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-garlic-sheeps-cheese) definitely offer a unique flavor with a "mellow [and] caramelized" finish. The recipe builds on the classic combo of soy sauce and white garlic. Spirit Almond's Japanese-style almonds are "lightly seasoned for healthy snacking" but their ingredients also deliver other health benefits. While almonds are rich in protein—a pack of Black Garlic Dry-Roasted Almond delivers seven grams of protein and three grams of fiber, black and regular garlic also add an antioxidant kick to one's system. The Japanese-style almonds contain no artificial ingredients and feature less than one gram of added sugar.
