My son is going to be 2 years old and recently I have started giving him a soaked almond everyday. But he does not like to have the almond with its skin. Once I peel it he eats it. I am wondering if removing the skin takes away some of the nutrients?
Its always better to have almond with skin but you cannot expect a small child to have it with skin so give him the way he is taking it.
Such a small kid will not be comfortable eating the skin so better peel the almond and give. Start giving along with skin after 4 years of age.
I will suggest you not to give your child the almond with skin at this stage, he may get irritation in the throat due to it. He will not be deprived of much nutrients if you do not give him the skin.
