Almonds Blanched 100g

Almonds are the kernels of the fruit of the almond tree, which is closely related to the peach and apricot. They are a nutshell fruit, like hazelnuts or walnuts. The largest producers of almonds are the United States of America (especially California), Australia and Europe.  

The almonds probably originated in western Asia, from where they spread around the world. 

Peeled almonds do not contain bitter skin and are therefore more easily digestible.
