Raw Organic Chopped Almonds from France - Direct Producer - Our Nuts

The almond is a highly valued food, not only for its pleasant taste but especially for its numerous uses in cooking and cosmetics, as well as its countless benefits. It can be enjoyed on its own, in desserts, or in dishes. Almonds are made into plant milk, oil, butter, and are used in beauty products. The almond is the fruit of the almond tree, and we distinguish between sweet almonds, Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis, and bitter almonds, Prunus amygdalus var. amara, the latter being considered toxic due to its cyanide content. It is an oilseed, meaning it is rich in lipids, and is often referred to as a "dry oilseed fruit." If the almond is harvested before maturity, its skin is still green, the famous almond green. Thus, green and fresh almonds have a tender, milky flesh with a delicate flavor. In France, they are harvested in June and July. Once fully ripe, the almond becomes dry and is harvested.
