Raising a concern towards the working mothers, Almond Board of California hosted a panel discussion titled ‘Working Mother’s Dilemma in Ensuring the Family Health’. The session, at Le Meridian New Delhi, was informative in terms of what mothers, particularly working mothers go through to ensure family’s health, and also the numerous benefits of almonds.

Various benefits were highlighted of the almonds from California, which are natural, wholesome and quality food.
