Focusing on Chronic Nutritional Deficiency for 'Calcium Day' on May 2nd: Almonds Boast Top-Class Calcium Content Among Nuts.

Likaman Shop Rakuten Ichiba, an online store operated by Izumise Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto; CEO: Naotaka Totsuka), which manages over 50 specialized liquor stores, is introducing 'Roasted Almonds' as an easy-to-incorporate daily food item in conjunction with 'Calcium Day' on May 2nd, addressing the common issue of calcium deficiency among modern people.

### Chronic Calcium Deficiency in Japan Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, accounting for about 1% to 2% of body weight, and is an essential nutrient for the formation of bones and teeth. On the other hand, it is said that Japanese people in their 30s to 70s are chronically deficient in calcium compared to the recommended intake (750mg for men, 650mg for women). Calcium deficiency is pointed out as a risk factor for osteoporosis.

### Almonds are Actually a 'Calcium-Rich Food' In this context, we would like to draw attention to almonds, a type of nut. While almonds are not strongly associated with calcium, typical roasted almonds contain about 260mg per 100g, boasting one of the highest levels among nuts. Consuming about 20 to 25 nuts (approx. 20-25g) per day allows for a calcium supplement of approximately 52 to 65mg.

### Large Capacity and Additive-Free for Easy Continuity The 'Roasted Almonds' handled at our shop are roasted without adding salt or oil, preserving the natural flavor of the ingredients. The content is 850g, which is equivalent to about 34 days of intake based on a daily consumption of about 25g, designed for regular consumption.

### Quality Design with Focus on Ingredients and Production This product uses the Nonpareil variety (Extra No.1 grade) from California, USA, the world's largest producing region. The Nonpareil variety is characterized by its uniform shape and mild flavor, and is widely distributed in Japan. In addition, the original sweetness and aroma of the almonds are brought out by direct-fire roasting, with temperature adjustments made according to the season. Furthermore, processing and manufacturing are carried out in domestic factories, ensuring quality control as a food product for daily consumption.
