The almond is the fruit of the almond tree, and like other nuts, the seed is the part that is consumed, which is wrapped in a cinnamon-colored film, in addition to an inedible outer shell, which represents an important weight of the almond (when this shell is removed, its weight is reduced by 40%), and a green skin that dries out.

Almonds are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Champions in minerals such as calcium, they protect the heart, strengthen bones and lend their flavor and texture to both sweet and savory recipes.
