American Almond Pack Of 6
The delicately flavoured and versatile almond is available throughout the year to make a healthy and tasty addition to both sweet and savoury dishes. Although packaged almonds are available year round, they are the freshest in mid-summer, which is when they are at the height of their season. The almond that we think of as a nut is technically the seed of the fruit of the almond tree, a medium-size tree that bears fragrant pink and white flowers. Like its cousins, the peach, cherry and apricot trees, the almond tree bears fruits with stone-like seeds (or pits) within. The seed of the almond fruit is what we refer to as the almond nut.
