Almonds

Almonds are the edible seeds of the Prunus dulcis tree, commonly known as the almond tree. Though often referred to as nuts, almonds are actually the seeds found at the center of the almond fruit, which resembles a peach.

Almonds can be consumed whole, ground into flour, or made into non-dairy milk. They are rich in fat, making them a good source of oil. Sweet almonds are typically eaten and used in food, oils, and cosmetics. Bitter almonds have medicinal properties but can be toxic if not processed properly and are not widely available.
