Almonds are the edible seeds of the almond tree, Prunus dulcis, though often referred to as nuts. They are botanically classified as drupes, featuring a hard shell (endocarp) and a fleshy outer covering (hull). Almonds are native to the Middle East and Mediterranean climates and are now cultivated worldwide. Tree: The almond tree is a deciduous tree, typically growing to 4-10 meters tall. Fruit: The almond fruit is a drupe, consisting of a fleshy hull (exocarp and mesocarp) and a hard shell (endocarp). Kernel: The edible seed, commonly called the almond, is found inside the hard shell. Uses: Almonds are consumed raw, roasted, and processed into various products like almond milk, almond oil, almond butter, and almond flour. Nutritional Value: Almonds are a good source of nutrients, including fiber, protein, healthy fats (especially monounsaturated), vitamin E, and minerals like magnesium and manganese.
