Does roasting nuts change their nutritional value?

The difference is small and most of it comes from moisture loss. Protein and vitamin E stay almost the same; what really decides is whether salt and oil are added during roasting.

The difference is small and most of it comes from moisture loss. In USDA data, 100 grams of raw almonds contains 4.41 grams of water, while in dry-roasted almonds it falls to 2.41 grams; energy rises from 579 to 598 kilocalories. Protein and vitamin E stay almost the same. What really decides is whether salt and oil are added during roasting.
