What is an Almond?
Almonds are nutrient-rich nuts that belong to the Prunus family, native to the Middle East and South Asia. They are encased in a hard shell, which is usually removed to reveal the edible seed inside. Almonds are celebrated for their subtle, sweet flavor and crunchy texture, making them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. They can be consumed raw, roasted, or as an ingredient in various culinary creations. Almonds are not just delicious, but they also pack a significant nutritional punch, contributing to overall health and wellness.
