Almonds Natural 500g

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 in the world 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. They are nutritionally very rich and therefore popular not only among athletes. Natural almonds contain a typical brown skin, which gives them a full flavour and concentrates beneficial substances.

Almonds have also found a place in the cosmetics industry. Almond oil is extracted from them and added to skin and body creams
