Recently, I’ve bought Californian Almonds Nuts at one of London’s Tesco stores, which states having as much as 12g of carbs (11g fiber, 4g sugar). Does all almond nuts have roughly the same nutrition value, or does these differences really exist?
Variations in almond carbs?

Where these roasted? Some companies will soak the nuts in a solution to make them taste better. Is there any other ingredient listed on the packaging? I always get plain raw almonds and pan roast them myself if I want the roasted flavor. I do prefer my nuts not roasted most of the time.
I’m in the USA, not GB, so our packaging does tell you if anything has been added.

Here is a general source for macros in almonds.

Similar to your numbers really.
@collaroygal - I converted the data of 4 nuts that is more keto-friendly, IMO
1 net carb =
2.47 cashews
4.27 brazil nuts
7.39 macadamia
15.3 pecans !

Great reply.
I’ve looked at my almond flour and it states 10g carbs, of which 7g sugar. Not too good for pizza or cake base, if true. Actually, most of food I buy varies up to 500%. One would say, the same food which taste the same, should be similar in basic macros - while text is just text.
